Trump Unveils Military‑Backed Hemispheric Crackdown to Take Down Cartels
Rallies 17 Nation Coalition
Mexican President Sheinbaum Absent
President Donald Trump rolled out a sweeping anti‑cartel doctrine Saturday, rallying a 17‑nation coalition behind a new hemispheric security pact that authorizes direct military action against cartel strongholds. The president’s speech highlighted the administration’s hard line, including the declaration that “the heart of our agreement is a commitment to using lethal military force to destroy the sinister cartels and terrorist networks.” Conspicuously absent from the conference was Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
