Mexico moves troops to US border after Trump delays tariffs

Mexico on Tuesday began moving troops to its northern border as part of a 10,000-member deployment that Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum promised US counterpart Donald Trump in exchange for a delay of his tariffs.

Several hundred members of the National Guard were seen boarding a military airplane in the southeastern city of Merida, heading for the Mexican-US border. Authorities from both countries also started a joint operation in Ciudad Juarez to locate a possible tunnel used by migrants to cross into the United States.

They found a storm drain during a search on Tuesday, but it did not lead into US territory, said the government of Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juarez is located.
