Donald Trump, former US president, referred to the members of the National Guard deployed in 2019 by Mexico against migration. The Republican said that “28 thousand… a lot of soldiers, like Pancho Villa, are not politically correct.”
The Republican made a distinction between the American elements, which must have excessive composure, and the Mexicans, whom he criticized. “Mexico gave us 28 thousand soldiers for free. That is much more than a little [de dinero] for the wall,” remarked the former Republican president.
“I told the president [mexicano, Andrés Manuel López Obrador]: ‘There are many people crossing from Mexico. Posters [de las drogas] they are bringing in really bad people. You have to give us soldiers.'”
In Windham, New Hampshire, the former president mentioned that “the most secure border in history was created.” He remarked that “Mexico gave them 28,000 soldiers. Oh, I remember when they said: ‘Mexico is not going to pay, they gave us 28,000 soldiers tax-free.” The former president also recalled his threat to impose tariffs at the time.
The former US president also recalled his threat to impose tariffs on Mexico at that time. In 2019, the then Secretary of Foreign Relations, Marcelo Ebrard, went to Washington to prevent the Republican from imposing that tax and then the Mexican authorities deployed National Guard soldiers on the southern and northern borders.
In his speech he began focused on veterans, he announced the launch of a new coalition, “Veterans for Trump”; promoted his accomplishments supporting veterans while in office; he criticized Joe Biden and the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and vowed to completely eradicate veteran homelessness in the United States if he is elected to office again.
The former president also asked the audience if he should participate in the Republican primary debates, the first of which is scheduled for August 23 in Milwaukee. The crowd booed and rejected the proposal as Trump he explained why he would not debate and suggested that “perhaps we will do something else”.
