The deployment includes an unspecified number of Mexican army soldiers and National Guard troops going to Juárez and the Chihuahua-state border towns of Ojinaga, across from Presidio, Texas, and Palomas, across from Columbus, New Mexico, reported La Verdad Juárez news site.

President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government said the National Guard members had redeployed to 18 cities and towns along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a deal to delay U.S. tariffs.

Mexico began Tuesday the 10,000-strong border troop deployment it had promised US President Donald Trump in exchange for delaying a 25-percent tariff on exported goods, President Claudia Sheinbaum said.
