Mexico's military has heightened security measures this week after former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested potential cross-border strikes targeting drug cartels. The tension comes as Trump—now a key political figure in the 2025 election cycle—recently deployed naval forces near Venezuela and openly discussed military interventions in Latin America.
When pressed about possible operations in Mexico, Trump reportedly responded: "Okay with me," sparking concerns about renewed U.S.-Mexico friction. Analysts compare the rhetoric to his 2019 border wall debates but warn current geopolitical dynamics could escalate faster. 🌎⚔️
Local residents near border areas report increased patrols, while Mexico's foreign ministry emphasized sovereignty: "We will defend our territory through dialogue and international law." The situation remains fluid as governments navigate both security concerns and diplomatic protocols.
