Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo revealed that the U.S. agreed to curb gun smuggling into Mexico—something omitted from Trump’s statement about their call.

While Trump announced that Mexico would send 10,000 troops to the U.S. border, he did not mention this key concession.

Studies show 68–90% of traced firearms in Mexico originate from or pass through the U.S.

The tariff pause follows Mexico’s commitment to increased border security, but Sheinbaum’s disclosure highlights a significant aspect Trump did not publicly acknowledge.

    She has to know he’s lying and that this won’t last. I guess we’ll get a series of similar “agreements” until he’s gone.

      Oh, she knows.

      That’s why she demanded to be allowed to boost troops numbers on the northern border.

      Otherwise, it could (and still.does) look like either preparing against an invasion, or readying for an invasion. The former being most likely.
