Donald Trump has vowed to use the U.S. military to secure the nation's southern border with Mexico. During a luncheon with Baltic State leaders, the POTUS blasted NAFTA, calling the agreement a "horrible, horrible embarrassing deal for the United States," and vowed not to renew the United State's participation should the nation not adopt laws "like Mexico has." During his Tuesday comments, CNN reports that Trump promised to utilize the U.S. military to guard the nation's southern border.
While addressing Baltic leaders, Donald Trump also claimed that the "caravan" of Central American immigrants headed to the U.S. was in the process of being broken up in Mexico. According the Trump, Mexico was able to do thing the United States can't because Mexico's laws are "very strong."
According to the POTUS, he is meeting with Defense Secretary James Mattis to arrange "some things militarily" to guard the border until his promised wall and "proper security" is in place. Calling the move "a big step," Trump went on to disparage the current U.S. border control and immigration laws, claiming that even when immigrants are caught, they never show up for court. Trump told his captive audience of Baltic leaders that his border security meeting with Mattis would be taking place "in a little while."
