Mexico Warms Up to Trump’s War on Drug Cartels
The moves comes after the president designates Mexico’s drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
The Mexican Senate has approved the deployment of U.S. Army Green Berets into the country to target drug cartels in a move to appease President Trump, who has moved swiftly to shut down the border and crack down on drug smuggling.
The U.S. troops, part of the Army’s 7th Special Forces Group, will come “fully armed as part of a mission to train the Mexican Navy’s Infantería de Marina,” according to the Border Report. They will report for duty this week and will train Mexican troops until the end of March, according to Senator Alejandro Moreno Cardenas, who is the president of the Mexican Senate’s Naval Ministry Commission.
