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.

    Yeah I mean that’s what has been happening for decades and it’s worked out very well for the US. Profits from arms sales and a steady supply of cheap labor from immigrants. Don’t know why the Republicans suddenly want to kill their cash cow.

      Don’t know why the Republicans suddenly want to kill their cash cow.

      The average conservative isn’t informed or intelligent enough to understand how drastically they benefit from the horrible working conditions that migrant workers deal with, and they hate brown people.

      The entire movement has been backing themselves into this corner for decades.

      They’re not.

      Well, except maybe arms exports, but for cheap labor? If you create a class of people without rights, they become very exploitable.
