Trump Urges U.S. Military Action Against Mexican Cartels

May 7, 2025 | International, Military, White House

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has rejected direct American intervention, fearing cartel retaliation, despite Trump’s offer for support. This situation hearkens back to the U.S. military’s 1916 pursuit of Pancho Villa. Trump believes the current chaos presents an opportunity for decisive action, although Sheinbaum remains resistant. American troops have not engaged in combat in Mexico since their withdrawal in 1917, following the unsuccessful attempt to capture Villa.
