US EditionTrump says US will start hitting drug cartels on land
Trump signals expanded military campaign targeting cartel infrastructure on Mexican soil after maritime strikes, citing up to 300,000 U.S. deaths annually from drugs, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump said the United States will begin land strikes against drug cartels in Mexico, announcing the shift during a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity.
- Trump framed the move as a response to Mexican cartels `running Mexico` and cited 50,000–300,000 annual deaths, asserting maritime efforts stopped 97%.
- Maritime strikes since September have killed more than 100 people, and in August Donald Trump, President of the United States, signed a directive targeting cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations with U.S. forces conducting a land strike in Venezuela.
- Such strikes would raise major questions about sovereignty, congressional authority and could trigger displacement or migration pressure, experts warn.
- Public health data shows about 76,516 U.S. overdose deaths in the year ending April 2025, while regional analysts warn escalation could impact asylum seekers through `material support` laws.
