️🇺🇸🇲🇽 NYT: The Trump administration is pressuring Mexico to win public security against cartels before the midterm elections, and in recent weeks has submitted a memo offering a path for American security personnel to accompany counter-cartel operations inside Mexico, along with broader intelligence sharing, according to Mexican officials in the US.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly rejected joint operations and US drone strikes on Mexican soil as a violation of sovereignty, while Trump said last week that "we haven't done the ground work yet, but it's starting," as tensions rise over US indictments against Mexican politicians without enough evidence to arrest them.
