Mexico is reportedly in a frantic state of preparation for the incoming Trump administration, worried that President-elect Donald Trump could take military action against the country’s notorious drug cartels. Mexico’s new far-left president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who blames her country’s problems on the U.S., has tried to calm nerves in her country over the possibility of U.S. military intervention, claiming: “There won’t be an invasion. It’s not going to happen.” The Wall Street Journal reported that Mexican officials are rushing to gauge just how serious the threat from Trump is, especially considering that two of Trump’s picks for his upcoming administration — Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) for national security adviser and Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense — are proponents of the idea. Trump indicated on the campaign trail that he would use military action against the drug cartels, who fuel the deaths of north of a hundred thousand Americans per year. He’s also indicated he would use the U.S. Navy to stop fentanyl precursors from arriving in Mexico from China and he would designate the drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). He’s also threatened steep tariffs if Mexico does not stop the flow of illegal aliens and drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border. 50% OFF ALL DAILY WIRE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS FOR A LIMITED TIME! The Journal reports that in response to Trump’s threats, Sheinbaum is starting to take action against the Sinaloa cartel, arguably the world’s most powerful drug trafficking organization. Mexican law enforcement has made record seizures of fentanyl from the cartel and she sent her security minister to Sinaloa “to oversee the efforts to take back control of a state where organized crime dominates.” The country is also setting up an elite unit of security officers, who will be vetted and trained by the U.S. for operations against the cartels in Mexico, the report said. Rebeccah Heinrichs, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute and the director of its Keystone Defense Initiative, said that, despite him not being back in office yet, Trump’s tough stance toward Mexico is already yielding results, and “will translate directly to saved American lives.” The report also indicated that Trump’s nomination of Ron Johnson, a former Green Beret and U.S. intelligence officer, to be his ambassador to Mexico will have major implications for what happens between the two countries. Eduardo Guerrero, a Mexico City-based security analyst, told The Journal, “This ambassador will be a de facto part of Mexico’s security cabinet.”
