On 9 January 2026, former President Donald Trump announced a plan to launch land strikes against Mexican criminal cartels. Speaking from the White House in Washington, D.C., he warned that the only limit to his power is his own morality. The announcement follows a sharp rise in crime rates along the U.S.-Mexico border, where President Claudia Sheinbaum faces growing criticism from opposition parties. Trump’s strategy, reported by GB News, aims to dismantle cartel infrastructure by targeting key drug‑trafficking hubs, signaling a new phase in U.S.-Mexico relations amid escalating violence.
