In December 2019, President Donald Trump offered to intervene in Mexico, i.e. “to go after the Drug Cartels”. Mexico’s president AMLO turned down Trump’s “generous offer”.

President Trump confirmed that his administration was considering categorizing “drug cartels” as “terrorists”,  akin to Al Qaeda –with the exception that they are “Catholic terrorists”. 

They would henceforth be designated by Washington as “foreign terrorist organizations”.

In January 2026, in the immmediate wake of the attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro, MAGA Donald Trump has announced that he now intends to intervene militarily in Mexico.

“We are going to start now hitting land with regard to the cartels.

“The cartels are running Mexico,” Trump said in an interview with broadcaster Sean Hannity on Fox News.”

Invading Mexico is tagged by Trump as a humanitarian endeavor on behalf of the Mexican People. It’s “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) against the bad guys

The Drug Cartels are being used as a pretext and a justification to intervene militarily in Mexico. The Invasion of Mexico is “on hold”. Who’s Next? Trump has his eyes on Cuba.

 It is estimated that 300 billion dollars (annually) worth of drug money (2003 data) is routinely laundered.

“The trafficking and abuse of illicit drugs–from cocaine to pharmaceuticals–generate enormous profits, and detecting and seizing the money and assets derived from drug trafficking are critical to U.S. counterdrug efforts.

The actual dollar amount of money laundered in the United States from the proceeds of drug trafficking is unknown, although interagency estimates suggest that between $100 billion and $300 billion in U.S. currency is laundered annually.” (Justice.gov. 2003 data).

.

How to Undermine the Drug Cartels without having to Invade a Sovereign Country?

The answer is obvious. Implement forceful measures which paralyze the laundering of dirty money, within the realm of global finance. No easy task. Will it be addressed by the Trump Adminstration?
