Trump Administration Targets Drug Cartels with Military Force

President Donald Trump's administration aims to deploy military force against drug cartels labeled as global terrorist organizations. This move enhances immigration enforcement and allows utilizing American intelligence and the Department of Defense against these cartels. However, Mexican authorities assert the absence of U.S. military operations on their soil.

President Donald Trump's administration has taken a major step in its fight against drug cartels by classifying them as global terrorist organizations and preparing potential military action, according to U.S. officials.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the broadened scope of action, stating that the administration can now leverage American intelligence and defense capabilities against these groups.

While military operations have not commenced, increased surveillance by U.S. forces is underway. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum maintains that U.S. military presence in Mexico is not occurring, despite Trump's offers for military intervention.
