u.s.-Mexico Border: Face Scrutiny

u.s.-mexico border: The trip will bring the president face to face with the targets of some of his fiercest ire and follows his announcement that he will direct the deployment of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, according to Metro News. The deployment has sparked widespread outrage in Mexico, which had already been enraged by Trump's pledge to construct a border wall. The White House said Thursday that Trump is set to attend the Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru, and will travel to Bogota, Colombia, to promote good governance and democracy in the Western Hemisphere. Trump is also set to face scrutiny over his recently announced tariffs on steel and aluminum though exporters to the U.S. who will be in attendance have been granted temporary waivers. Trump will hold meetings with several regional partners, though the final roster was still being finalized. Administration officials said no news is expected at the summit on the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement or any on new sanctions on the Venezuelan government.
