Officers from the CIA are also expected to be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two U.S. officials told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/national-security\/trump-administration-planning-new-mission-mexico-cartels-current-forme-rcna241167\">NBC News<\/a> that early-stage training for the mission has already begun, though a deployment is not imminent and final approval has not yet been given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report comes as the U.S. military continues airstrikes against suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific. Since early September, Washington has confirmed at least 15 operations targeting 16 vessels it says were operated by designated narcoterrorist organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 64 people have been killed in those strikes, which U.S. officials say targeted suspected members of Venezuela\u2019s Tren de Aragua and Colombia\u2019s National Liberation Army, as well as vessels potentially operating off the coasts of Colombia and Mexico in the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The possibility of operations inside Mexico follows months of escalating rhetoric from President Donald Trump, who in April publicly warned that his administration was \u201crunning out of patience\u201d with what he described as Mexico\u2019s \u201cfailure to stop the killers and smugglers at our border.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly condemned any suggestion of U.S. military intervention, calling it a violation of sovereignty. \u201cWe\u2019ve always said it: we do not agree with any intervention or interference. We coordinate, we do not subordinate,\u201d Sheinbaum said earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, the U.S. designated six Mexican cartels\u2014including the Sinaloa, Jalisco New Generation, and Gulf cartels\u2014as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). The move, enacted through an executive order on Trump\u2019s first days in office, granted U.S. forces expanded authority to pursue cartel leaders abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If approved, the proposed cross-border mission would be conducted covertly and kept secret, according to officials cited by NBC News, with no public acknowledgment of its operations or results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration is developing plans for a potential mission to send U.S. troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels, according to NBC News.
