The Trump administration is weighing the use of drone strikes against Mexican drug cartels, a significant escalation in the fight against narcotics trafficking at the southern border. The proposal, still under discussion, could involve targeting cartel leaders and supply networks inside Mexico with unmanned aerial vehicles, possibly with the Mexican government’s cooperation.
Mexican drug cartels have reportedly authorized the use of explosive-laden "kamikaze drones" to attack U.S. Border Patrol agents and military personnel stationed along the southern border.
