Sheinbaum responded firmly: \u201cOur land and our sovereignty are protected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"2002\">Trump confirmed his military proposal and doubled down, accusing Sheinbaum of being &#8220;too afraid of the cartels to think clearly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2004\" data-end=\"2199\">According to El Pa\u00eds, the Trump administration is internally divided\u2014some advisors support intervention to halt narcotic flows, while others warn it could severely damage U.S.-Mexico relations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2548\">Mexico\u2019s El Universal newspaper ran a headline this week: \u201cWhat Would Happen If the U.S. Intervened Militarily in Mexico?\u201d The article claims Trump is pushing to deploy American troops on Mexican soil to fight drug cartels, a proposal Mexico has strongly rejected due to potential international backlash, internal unrest, and fears of rebellion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2550\" data-end=\"2769\">The U.S. once signed a similar agreement with Colombia in 1999. While it included military support, it failed to reduce drug exports and led to massive displacement, human rights violations, and targeted assassinations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2771\" data-end=\"2896\">El Universal warned that, given Colombia\u2019s experience, similar coordination in Mexico would have catastrophic consequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2898\" data-end=\"3256\">Trump appears to be paving the way for limited military involvement in Mexico\u2014or at least for forced security coordination\u2014especially after six Mexican drug cartels were designated as terrorist organizations on February 20. This designation allows the U.S. military to operate outside its borders to eliminate \u201cterror threats\u201d if authorized by the president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2898\" data-end=\"3256\">Coinciding with this move, American MQ-9 drones began flying over northern Mexico to monitor cartel activity\u2014further pressuring the Mexican leadership in the eyes of its citizens.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14564\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14564 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/usa-1024x775.jpg\" alt=\"The drug cartels\" width=\"1024\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/usa-1024x775.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/usa-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/usa-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/usa.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">VenezAlthough former U.S. President Donald Trump has not declared any new wars, he may be edging toward a military intervention in northern Mexico, citing the need to fight drug cartelsuelan deportations without trial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2898\" data-end=\"3256\">Trump has already \u201cmilitarized migration\u201d by using the military against migrants coming from Mexico, and may now adopt a similar approach against drugs\u2014starting with drone surveillance of suspected fentanyl labs, and potentially targeting them with airstrikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3701\" data-end=\"3878\">Fentanyl is seen as the most pressing threat to the U.S., with more than 87,000 Americans dying from drug overdoses\u2014mostly from fentanyl\u2014between October 2023 and September 2024.
