NBC: Trump About to Declare War on Mexican Cartels

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : It will take years of determined and concerted efforts to truly dismantle them and end that threat on our shared border with Mexico and to Mexican self-governance.
37% : Besides, it has been clear since the election campaign that Trump would shift the US response to the cartels from defense to offense.
33% : The scale contemplated for a new war against the Mexican drug and trafficking cartels would be unprecedented, however, as would be the open possibility that Donald Trump might not bother to engage Claudia Sheinbaum's government in order to defenestrate the organized-crime rings plaguing the American border.
31% : Trump has been nothing if not clear on this point.
26% : The "senior" DEA official during the Biden administration lamented Joe Biden's "handwringing" during AMLO's term, and believes Sheinbaum knows that the situation has changed: He said he believes fear of Trump could push Mexico to accept U.S. military action.
15% : "Politics aside, Trump is not f------ around with this stuff," he said, adding that Mexican officials may fear potential economic retaliation if they defy the Trump administration.
