Trump urges Mexico to ‘step up’ efforts against cartels, drugs
Trump urged Mexico to intensify efforts against drug cartels, calling for stronger cooperation and action following a deadly military raid that killed a notorious Mexican drug lord. He framed the issue as crucial to curb violence spreading into the United States’ southern neighbor.
The president pressed for enhanced security measures, law enforcement collaboration, and targeted operations to dismantle cartel networks and disrupt drug trafficking routes. He emphasized the impact of cartel violence on everyday life and urged Mexico to step up its own enforcement capabilities.
No further details were provided about new policies or bilateral agreements, but the call underscored ongoing tensions over drug violence and border security in the region.
