Trump designed an offensive against Mexican cartels that will test the diplomatic relationship with Sheinbaum

donald trump designed an agenda against drug cartels in Mexico that begins in formal diplomacy and can conclude in direct actions. The president of the United States launched a war without quarter to stop drug trafficking from the Southern Border, which has a battle plan unpublished and successive peremptory stages.

This implies that Trump favors political dialogue with Sheimbaumbut you can decant in covert operations to annul the leaders of the gangs Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation, that they control Fentanyl trafficking to the United States.

The final strategy of the White House It depends on the political will of Claudia Sheimbaum: If the Mexican president accepts the Oval Office roadmap, everything will depend on the agreements she closes with Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State.

On the other hand, if the Republican administration considers that its regional partner takes a reluctant position, Trump would be willing to execute his action plan alone.

Trump issued an executive order titled “Designation of cartels and other organizations as foreign terrorist organizations and global terrorists.”

In its limited wording, Trump’s order advances: “It is the policy of the United States guarantee the total elimination of the presence of these organizations in the country and its capacity to threaten the territory, security and protection of the country through its extraterritorial command and control structures, thus protecting the American people and the territorial integrity of the United States.”

And he concludes: “Within 14 days As of the date of this order (January 20), the Secretary of State will take all appropriate measures in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasuryhe Attorney General, he Secretary of Homeland Security and the Intelligence Director National, to do a recommendation with respect to the designation of any cartel or other organization described in section 1 of this order as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.”

In two weeks, Rubio will establish the list with drug trafficking gangs that distribute thousands of tons of Fentanyl and other narcotics from Mexico to the United States. The Secretary of State know this complex regional issue, and in its definitive index The following drug posters should be included:

1. Sinaloa.

2. Jalisco New Generation

3. Juarez Cartel

4. Gulf Poster

5. The Zetas

6. Beltrán Leiva poster.

In its 2024 annual report, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) gives an exact description of the Sinaloa and Jalisco Nueva Generación cartels.

In this regard he noted:

“The Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (also known as CJNG or Jalisco Cartel) are the main criminal organizations in Mexico and the most dangerous. They control clandestine drug production sites and transportation routes within Mexico and smuggling corridors into the United States and maintain large network “hubs” in American cities along the southwest border and other key locations throughout the United States. Joined”.

Likewise, the DEA dossier adds:

“The Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels are called “transnational criminal organizations” because they are not only drug manufacturers and traffickers; They are organized crime groups, involved in arms trafficking, money laundering, migrant smuggling, sex trafficking, bribery, extortion and a host of other crimes, and They have a global reach extending to strategic shipping zones and profitable drug markets in Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.”

The list formed by Rubio and endorsed by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of Intelligence National, turns to the Capitol to achieve parliamentary consensus. This endorsement of the representatives and senators – which does not imply a law – it is important for advance the battle plan that Trump designed to combat drug trafficking in the United States.

When the executive order is in effect, the United States will request Mexico their maximum collaboration to confront the drug cartels. This does not mean that the Trump administration can enter foreign territory to exterminate drug gangs that operate from Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Denver and Oklahoma.

“We are going to provide our maximum collaboration, but we are not going to allow clandestine operations carried out by the United States in our territory. “What happens in Mexico will happen by order and decision of the President,” he told Infobae a member of Sheinbaum’s cabinet.

Rubio has a tough speech without weak flanks. The Secretary of State always opts for diplomatic dialogue, but he already anticipated that his main objective is protect America.

In this context, if the White House were to consider that Mexican cooperation is relativeTrump would have hands free to act against the different drug trafficking gangs, especially the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels.

Yesterday in the West Wing of the White House they remembered that Trump ordered the killing of Qasem Soleimani in Iraq, a top Iranian military commander who led bloody terrorist attacks.

When the executive order reaches its effective validity, all Mexican drug traffickers will be considered terrorists. And they could also be shot down on foreign soil by Trump’s direct order.

As happened with General Soleimani.
