Trump Eyes Troop Deployment to Mexico in Bold Tactic Against Drug Cartels

President Donald Trump is considering deploying US troops to Mexico to combat drug cartels, marking a significant escalation in the United States military strategy against narcotics trafficking.

• The proposed operation would involve ground operations within Mexico and drone strikes using unmanned aerial vehicles targeting drug labs and cartel leaders.
• This initiative is still in early stages, with plans reportedly expanding on the current military efforts against drug cartels, previously focused on Venezuela and Colombia.
• NBC reports that four sources familiar with the effort are involved in the discussions regarding this bold tactic against the escalating drug cartel violence.
• The Central Intelligence Agency is likely to be involved in intelligence-gathering efforts to support the proposed military actions against drug cartels operating in Mexico.
