A bill has even been introduced proposing a formal declaration of war against the cartels. However, without Mexican approval for specific strikes on Mexican territory, and without Mexican cooperation, this would be seen as an act of war. In the past, Donald Trump offered his Mexican counterpart help in the form of sending the US Military after the cartels. The Mexican side did not agree with Trump&#8217;s idea.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>From NewsNation:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For decades, the drug war has included covert U.S. operations inside Mexico aimed at monitoring cartel activity, as well as various instances of military surges along the American border.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of deploying the U.S. military into Mexico as a means to combat cartels has garnered support from Republican senators like Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Ohio&#8217;s J.D. Vance, along with a few other members of Congress, and the top two GOP presidential nominees.<\/p>\n<p>On Capitol Hill, a bill has been introduced that proposes formally declaring war on the cartels, which could potentially enable actions such as the dropping of bombs on targets within Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump has proposed implementing a naval blockade. This idea was highlighted following the recent incident where Mexico&#8217;s naval forces captured a submarine.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;narco sub&#8221; was leaving from the coast of Mexico City, carrying an estimated three and a half tons of a substance suspected to be cocaine.<\/p>\n<p>GOP opponent Ron DeSantis also supports lethal force in repelling the cartel-fueled drug supply that has claimed thousands of American lives. &#8220;Look, we&#8217;re going to use whatever leverage we have to ensure that this issue is brought to a conclusion,&#8221; DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. military involvement is warranted and could prove to be effective in curbing the cartel-fueled drug supply that&#8217;s claimed thousands of American lives, according to one cartel expert.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Truth or fiction?
