Washington.- President Donald Trump issued an executive order this Monday declaring a national emergency that authorizes the use of military forces on the border with Mexico.

The order, signed on his first day in power and from the Oval Office, directs the Department of Defense to deploy personnel – including soldiers and the National Guard – to “secure the border” and repel “forms of invasion,” including migration to US and drug trafficking, according to officials from the new administration in a call with reporters.
