Bombing Mexico Directly AUTHORIZED As Pentagon's Hegseth CONFIRMS Military Action Plan
In recent developments, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signaled a firm stance against Mexican drug cartels, indicating that military action remains a viable option. During a January 31 call with top Mexican military officials, Hegseth expressed concerns over the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration into the United States, warning that the U.S. might take unilateral action if Mexico doesn't address collusion between its government and drug cartels.
This warning aligns with President Donald Trump's broader strategy to combat drug trafficking and illegal immigration. The administration has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada if sufficient measures aren't taken to curb drug smuggling. In response, Mexico extradited 29 cartel members to the U.S. for prosecution, including the suspected killer of a Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
Domestically, the U.S. has bolstered its border security by deploying approximately 9,200 troops, comprising both federal and National Guard forces, to the southern border. Enhanced surveillance operations are underway to monitor drug cartels and fentanyl movements, with U.S. Northern Command seeking greater operational authority.
These developments underscore the administration's commitment to addressing the challenges posed by drug cartels and securing the southern border.
