1. El Acuerdo: Tropas por Aranceles.
La discusión principal se centra en el acuerdo alcanzado entre el presidente Trump y la presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum. A cambio de una pausa de un mes en la imposición de aranceles, México se comprometió a desplegar 10,000 miembros de la Guardia Nacional en su frontera norte para frenar el tráfico de fentanilo hacia Estados Unidos.
- Trump pauses tariffs on mexico for one month. Sheinbaum in return is supplying 10,00 troops to the border to stop fentanyl crossing the border. Well that's the deal.
- Breaking news: per president of mexico 1. Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,00 members of the national guard to prevent drug trafficking from mexico to the united states, particularly fentanyl. 2. Trump pauses tariffs for 1 month.
- President trump says as a result of his call with mexican president sheinbaum she agreed to immediately supply 10,00 mexican soldiers on the border, "specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants" into the us and they both agreed to pause tariffs for one month.
2. Escepticismo sobre la Efectividad.
Una corriente de opinión mayoritaria cuestiona la eficacia de desplegar tropas en la frontera para detener el fentanilo. Se argumenta repetidamente que la mayor parte de la droga es traficada por ciudadanos estadounidenses a través de los puertos de entrada legales, lo que convertiría la medida en un gesto simbólico sin impacto real.
- 90% of the fentanyl that comes into the united states from mexico is carried across the border at legal ports of entry, mostly by american citizens. Those crossing illegally are all but never in possession. Mexico placing troops on the border will do absolutely nothing to stem the flow.
- We know that most of the fentanyl if brought to the usa by us citizens over ports of entry. So mexicos president just out smarted trump again. Because she is sending troops to the border which will have no effect on drug imports by us citizens!! but she got a month of no tariffs for nothing!
- So. Mexico, plays the game, and is deploying 10,00 troops to the border to stop the flow of fentanyl into the usa. 80 percent of fentanyl is smuggled in through the ports of entry, by american citizens. This will continue. Trump continues to cost lives.
- The 10,00 mexican troops will do little to stop the flow of fentanyl since most of the drug flows through legal ports of enrty, most carried in my american citizens! what fucking bullshit!
3. El Contra-Acuerdo: El Tráfico de Armas de EE.UU. a México.
Varios comentarios destacan una parte del acuerdo que no fue enfatizada por la administración Trump: el compromiso de Estados Unidos de trabajar para frenar el tráfico de armas de alto poder hacia México. Esta contrapartida es vista como una concesión importante obtenida por la presidenta Sheinbaum.
- Mexican president claudia sheinbaum said her government had agreed to send 10,00 national guard troops to the border to prevent drug trafficking, specifically fentanyl. And the u.s. Will work to stop weapons trafficking to mexico, she added.
- "the united states agreed to work to avoid the trafficking of weapons to mexico, she said.".
- Mexico will send troops to the border to help stop fentanyl and the us apparently agreed to help stop high powered guns from getting into mexico. We'll see.
- In return, the us had agreed to work to prevent high-powered weapons crossing the border into mexico.
4. Críticas y Contexto Político.
Los usuarios califican el acuerdo como "teatro político" y señalan que México ya había desplegado tropas en la frontera en acuerdos anteriores, incluso bajo la administración Biden, sin un efecto discernible en el tráfico de drogas. Se percibe que Sheinbaum cedió a una demanda simbólica para evitar una guerra comercial, mientras que Trump buscaba una victoria mediática.
- Trump’s stunt with mexican troops is nothing but political theater. Troops stand guard, but cartels still run rampant. Tariffs were the real goal, not stopping fentanyl.
- We've been here before. In 2019, mexico deployed 15,00 national guard to the u.s.-mexico border at trump's demand. It had zero impact on fentanyl smuggling — because it's not migrants who are smuggling fentanyl in the overwhelming majority of cases.
- Translation to truth: the 10k mexican border troops were part of a deal biden secured in 2021.
- Mexico's prez knows that sending the national guard to the border to stop the export of fentanyl is for show as it is not the way it is already abiding by remain in mexico for immigration. She understands that trump needs to be entertained like a spoiled child.
