Less than a week ago, President Donald Trump threatened Mexico with tariffs unless the country increased its efforts to subdue fentanyl trafficking along the border. Heeding this warning, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to boost support in exchange for Trump postponing the tariffs for 30 days. 

As part of the agreement, Sheinbaum deployed 10,000 troops to enhance border security as part of the country’s Operation Northern Border. It has only been a few days, but there have been positive results so far.
