00:00The illegal surge of deadly drugs and of human beings that we have seen
00:03trafficked over the southern border and the northern border, hence the tariffs on Canada.
00:08And so the president is making it very clear to both Canada and Mexico that
00:13the United States is no longer going to be a dumping ground for illegal deadly drugs and
00:17illegal human beings. And you saw President Scheinbaum already conceding in putting 10,000
00:23troops, permanent troops, I would add, not temporary, Mexican soldiers on the southern
00:28border to deter some of that illegal migration. So the president will continue to have these
00:32negotiations. I won't get ahead of him. He's also going to make sure that Secretary Besant,
00:37soon to be Secretary Lutnik and Secretary Rubio are deeply involved in these negotiations as well.
