The U.S. Is Pressing Mexico to Allow U.S. Forces to Fight Cartels

The United States is escalating pressure on the Mexican government to permit the U.S. military to target fentanyl labs, according to American officials.

The New York Times

The proposal was first raised early last year & then largely dropped, officials said. But the request was renewed after #US forces captured President Nicolás #Maduro of #Venezuela on Jan. 3 & has involved the highest levels of government, including the White House, according to multiple officials.

The #Trump admin wants #US forces — either #SpecialOperation #troops or #CIA officers — to accompany Mexican soldiers on raids on suspected fentanyl labs, acc/to US ofcls who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic issues & #military planning. Such joint ops would be a significant expansion of the #UnitedStates’ role in #Mexico, & one that the Mexican govt has so far adamantly opposed.
