mexico got the felon-in-chief to commit to curbing weapons sales into mexico, and sheinbaum alluded to other concessions

mexico agreed to 10,000 troops on the border, which from what i can tell was already in the cards, so no real concession here.

looks to me like mexico won the first phase of the celebrity tariffs reality show.

can we kick the crime minister off the island yet?

10,000 troops, each working 8 hour shifts 7 days a week (probably unrealistically high coverage per troop). Let's see, that's about 1.5 soldiers per mile.

Wow. That'll really stop organized crime from smuggling fentanyl and people into the U.S.
