Trump announced ground strikes in Mexico
U.S. President ready for operations against cartels
In an interview with Fox News, US President Donald Trump stated that the US has 'eliminated 97% of drug trafficking by sea' and is now moving on to ground operations against cartels in Mexico. According to Trump, 'cartels effectively control Mexico,' and offensive campaigns will begin 'very soon,' although exact timelines were not specified.
Trump has repeatedly offered Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum assistance with American troops, but received a firm refusal. He emphasized that if Mexico cannot handle the situation on its own, the US 'will have to act unilaterally.' Mexico has already rejected the idea of foreign intervention, insisting on its sovereignty.
According to Trump's statement, ground operations are aimed at crushing cartels and reducing their territorial control, which could affect regional stability.
