Donald Trump to send US soldiers into Mexico in major drug cartel blitz | World | News

US President Donald Trump is to send US troops into Mexico in a major drive against drug cartels in the country. The Trump administration is advancing plans for a new military operation that could see American troops and intelligence agents deployed inside Mexico to strike drug cartels, according to multiple current and former US officials. Early training and coordination for the potential mission are already underway, officials said, though no formal order has been given and deployment is not yet imminent.

The mission’s details, including its scale and timing, are still being debated within the administration. If approved, the plan would represent a dramatic expansion of President Donald Trump‘s campaign against drug trafficking networks.
