U.S. troops are already at the border to help reduce illegal crossings
White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said Trump “is just making clear, as he always has, that he has many different actions at his disposal” to try to stop what the administration calls a humanitarian crisis at the border.Two U.S. soldiers in a remote area of Texas recently were confronted by Mexican soldiers who thought the Americans had crossed into Mexico. The Mexican troops reportedly removed a weapon from one of the American soldiers.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador promised at a Wednesday news conference to investigate the border incident. “We are going to analyze this incident, we are going to take account of what he is indicating and will act in conformity with the law, within the framework of our sovereignty,” Obrador said.
He added: “We are not going to fight with the government of the United States. The most important thing is that we want a relationship of mutual respect and co-operation for development.”Trump recently backed off his threat to seal the entire border, citing Mexican co-operation.
