Trump Authorizes Military Action Against Cartels
President Donald Trump has secretly authorized the U.S. military, including special forces and intelligence agencies, to take action against Latin American drug cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations, intensifying U.S. efforts against narcotics trafficking. The order, following the administration's earlier labeling of several cartels as terrorist organizations, allows for military engagement in international waters and on foreign soil against groups like Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel and Venezuela's Tren de Aragua. The move has provoked diplomatic concerns, with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum insisting there will be no U.S. military invasion of Mexico. U.S. officials emphasize the need to treat these cartels as terrorist threats, expanding legal tools for counter-narcotics operations. Legal and ethical debates have emerged over civilian risk and the shift from law enforcement to military action. U.S. agencies are now preparing operational plans in response to this directive.
