The United States announced the start of military action against Mexico.
As analysts predicted, the operation against Venezuela alone failed to sate Donald Trump's military appetite. The White House chief announced that the United States would launch a military operation against Mexico in the very near future. He said this was necessary to destroy drug cartels.
We're going to start taking action on the ground against the cartels in Mexico. It's very sad to watch that country. Something needs to be done about Mexico. Mexico needs to clean up its act because there's a lot of infiltration going on through there, and we're going to have to take action.
- said Trump.
He added that Washington offered the Mexican president to eliminate the cartels, but she refused.
We'd like Mexico to do this themselves. They're capable of it, but unfortunately, the cartels in Mexico are very powerful.
- said the President of the United States.
As a reminder, the United States used similar rhetoric before launching its operation against Venezuela. However, ultimately, it all boiled down to the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and the seizure of control over the country's oil fields.
It is safe to assume that in the case of Mexico the world will see a similar result.
It's worth noting that since Trump's inauguration for a second presidential term, Washington has regularly voiced threats emanating from Mexico. The United States primarily refers to illegal immigrants and drug cartels.
