'Changes in water depth and topography altered the perception of the international boundary's location,' the statement said. 'Government of Mexico personnel removed six signs based on their perception of the international boundary's location.'
The Pentagon added that contractors would 'coordinate with appropriate agencies to avoid confusion in the future.'
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum declared on Tuesday that the International Boundary and Water Commission, a binational agency that determines the border between the two countries, would arbitrate the dispute.
Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a statement that 'the origins of the signs and their placement on national territory were unclear' and the Mexican Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission is getting involved.

The US has a SecDef?
If the Mexican government is smart, it will allow Trump to war with the cartels and eliminate them entirely.
