Analysis of U.S. pressure on Mexico regarding drug trafficking, based on "Third call; now Pentagon and DEA threaten #InFocus" | ElUniversalMex.
OPEN SOURCEThe U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have increased pressure on Mexico regarding drug trafficking, particularly after accusations against Sinaloa's governor, Rubén Rocha Moya. This escalation follows a series of statements emphasizing the need for Mexico to take more decisive action against drug cartels.
Hegseth stated that the U.S. expects Mexico to act more aggressively to combat drug trafficking to prevent further issues in the United States. The DEA director linked the ongoing drug crisis in the U.S. to the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, describing them as global operations that utilize advanced technology for drug distribution.
Concerns were raised about the historical collusion between Mexican officials and drug traffickers, particularly referencing the conviction of former Security Secretary Genaro García Luna for his connections to cartels. This situation highlights the complexities of addressing drug trafficking in Mexico.
The Trump administration has indicated a readiness to deploy troops in Mexico if necessary, a proposal that the Mexican government has categorically rejected as a violation of its sovereignty. This rejection underscores the tensions between U.S. demands and Mexican sovereignty.

The assumption that increased pressure will lead to effective action overlooks the complex interplay of corruption and power dynamics within Mexico. Inference: The historical collusion between officials and cartels suggests that without addressing these underlying issues, U.S. demands may be futile.
