Sources: Trump wants to attack drug cartels without Mexico's approval if elected
Donald Trump is exploring the possibility of carrying out targeted military strikes against drug cartels in Mexico if he is again president of the United States, two sources told Rolling Stone. This is regardless of whether he gets Mexico's approval or not.
According to the sources, associates have presented several proposals to Trump, which deal with military attacks and troop movements to Mexico. The goal is to stop the drugs being pumped into the United States.
Back in 2019, Trump asked if it was possible to attack Mexican drug labs, according to then-Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. Recently, the question of attacking Mexico has been raised by several interest organizations on the right in American politics - reports that Trump is said to have taken note of.
Former commander James G Stavridis is critical. He believes that it is "highly unlikely" that Mexico would approve such attacks:
- It is hard to imagine a worse idea than unilaterally allowing the US military to shoot across our southern border without Mexico's very specific permission and full cooperation.
