A recent memo from the Trump administration has highlighted a potential justification for military action against Mexican drug cartels. The memo suggests the United States may be involved in a conflict classified as “non-international armed conflict” due to the cartel’s activities. Experts have indicated the actions are likely illegal, involving the facilitation of criminal enterprises and associated violence. The memo details a strategic assessment suggesting a focused response may be necessary to disrupt cartel operations and reduce violence within the region. Further details regarding the specific methodologies proposed are currently unclear.
