President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that Mexican soldiers"recently pulled guns" on American troops near the southern border, and accused the soldiers of"probably" doing so as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers.
The confrontation between Mexican soldiers and U.S. troops happened April 13 on American territory. It was first made public by Newsweek, which reported that Mexican soldiers detained and searched the Americans briefly at gunpoint, thinking they were still in Mexico after mistakenly crossing into the United States."After a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area," a spokesperson for the Pentagon told the outlet.
