  • In recent days, the Trump administration has ramped up CIA surveillance drone flights over Mexico, formally designated drug cartels as "foreign terrorist" groups and floated the possibility of deploying troops there to fight organized crime.

The article from MSN discusses the potential for U.S. military action against Mexican drug cartels, prompted by increasing drone surveillance and the classification of these cartels as terrorist organizations. It highlights the growing frustration in the U.S. with the ongoing drug crisis, particularly the influx of fentanyl, which has led to calls for more aggressive action. The piece mentions that while the U.S. has been using drones for surveillance, there's a push from some American politicians to authorize drone strikes against cartel leaders. This approach, however, faces significant opposition from Mexico, where President López Obrador has criticized such moves as violations of Mexican sovereignty. The article also notes the complexity of the situation, with the U.S. needing to balance its domestic security concerns with international relations, potentially leading to a new phase in U.S.-Mexico relations if military action were to be taken.
