Summary

Trump has announced that the United States will begin conducting land-based military strikes against drug cartels in Mexico. He stated that 'cartels are running Mexico' and that the US would 'start hitting land' targets.

Mexican officials, including the president, have rejected Trump's calls for US military intervention, calling it 'unnecessary' and an infringement on sovereignty. However, Mexico has also recently sent 37 cartel suspects to the US, which the US ambassador praised as cooperation.
