Trump administration plans aggressive offensive against Mexican cartels

A leaked U.S. Department of State report indicates that the administration of President Donald Trump is planning a more aggressive tactical offensive against drug trafficking organizations in Mexico. The document formally classifies these criminal groups as a direct threat to U.S. national security.

The strategic plan includes potential tactical interventions on Mexican soil without prior notification to local authorities. Proposed operations aim to destroy synthetic drug laboratories and capture criminal leaders. The report also supports sanctions and accusations against Mexican public officials allegedly linked to organized crime, specifically mentioning the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya.

The document highlights the territorial expansion of groups such as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (CSRL). It notes recent escalations, including car bomb attacks in Zacatecas and the use of armed drones by criminal organizations.
