Mexico Rejects U.S. Military Plan Against Latin American Drug Cartels

Mexico has firmly rejected reports that the US, under President Trump, planned to use military force against Latin American drug cartels on Mexican soil, emphasizing its sovereignty and cooperation rather than invasion. The Mexican government clarified that no military participation was involved and dismissed any plans for invasion, despite reports of a secret directive signed by Trump to target cartels, which Mexico sees as a threat to its sovereignty. The US has designated several Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, aiming to combat their influence, but Mexico remains committed to collaboration without military intervention.

Mexico's Historic Fentanyl Seizure Follows US Tariff Threats

Mexican authorities have made the largest fentanyl bust in the country's history, seizing over a ton of the synthetic opioid in Sinaloa, equivalent to more than 20 million doses. This comes shortly after US President-elect Donald Trump threatened tariffs on Mexican goods over drug trafficking and illegal immigration. The operation, led by Mexico's navy, resulted in two arrests and the seizure of weapons. Despite this success, Sinaloa has experienced a surge in violence, linked to internal cartel conflicts following the arrest of key leaders.

Biden to Sign Order Limiting Migrant Entry During Surges

President Biden is expected to announce new asylum restrictions that would deny access to the U.S. asylum system when illegal border crossings exceed a daily threshold of 2,500 to 3,000. Migrants would be returned to their home countries or Mexico once the limit is surpassed. This move follows the failure of bipartisan border legislation and aims to address the surge in illegal crossings, which have recently averaged more than 3,500 daily. The order is likely to face legal challenges similar to those encountered by former President Trump's immigration policies.

"Claudia Sheinbaum Poised to Make History as Mexico's First Female President"

In a historic election, Mexico is poised to elect its first female president, likely Claudia Sheinbaum, a former mayor of Mexico City. This election could significantly impact U.S.-Mexico relations, particularly in areas like trade, immigration, and drug trafficking. While Sheinbaum is expected to continue the populist policies of current President López Obrador, Mexican voters are primarily concerned with domestic issues such as economic opportunities and public safety. The outcome will shape the future cooperation between the two neighboring countries.
