45th President Donald Trump has reportedly been asking policy advisors about military options to eliminate the Mexican drug cartels, including offensives not sanctioned by the Mexican government.
According to Yahoo News, Trump wants to make good on the opportunities he had initially missed when he was still president.
‘Attacking Mexico,’ or whatever you’d like to call it, is something that President Trump has said he wants ‘battle plans’ drawn for,” said one source, Yahoo News claimed. “He’s complained about missed opportunities of his first term, and there are a lot of people around him who want fewer missed opportunities in a second Trump presidency.”
Among several options given to Trump include “unilateral military strikes and troop deployments” in Mexico, Yahoo claimed, citing an October white paper from the Center for Renewing America titled “It’s Time to Wage War on Transnational Drug Cartels.”

The paper outlines how President Trump should “formally” declare “war against the cartels” by conducting “specific military operations” with the Mexican government in joint operations against “cartel-networked infrastructure, including affiliated factions and enablers with direct action.”
The CRA added that the elimination of the cartel would be in response to “the mounting bodies of dead Americans from fentanyl poisonings.”
“The goal is to crush cartel networks with full military force in as rapid a fashion as possible. This means expanding the role beyond Special Forces, targeted strikes, and intelligence operations to include elements of the Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard,” the CRA said.
The 45th president has reportedly taken a look at sending U.S. Special Forces to Mexico “for months,” Yahoo News reports.

“Over 1,000 migrants, mostly from Venezuela, surrendered themselves to USBP agents in El Paso, TX after making an illegal entry into the U.S.,” tweeted U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector Chief Anthony Good.
“USBPs authority to expel migrants under Title 42 & place migrants under Title 8 removal proceedings has NOT changed,” the official added in his tweet, which featured photos of what appears to be massive crowds of apprehended illegals close by the international border barrier.
While Trump is reportedly considering using the military against Mexico, the Central American country’s leader recently seemed to come to Trump’s defense in remarks that accused Biden of directing the Manhattan District Attorney to persecute the elderly president’s chief political opponent.
