Former President Donald Trump has begun asking his political advisers for a range of military options to direct against the cartels in Mexico.
Rolling Stone magazine reported that, according to two sources consulted, the proposals include bombings that have been rejected by the Mexican government.
“‘Attacking Mexico,’ or whatever you want to call it, is something that former President Trump has said he wants battle plans outlined,” according to one of the sources.

Trump’s top brass has briefed him on various options including unilateral military strikes and deployment of troops to a sovereign ally and neighbor of the United States.
One of them was notified to him this year by the Center for Renewing America think tank, which is made up of Trump supporters, MAGA (Make America Great Again) loyalists and veterans of his administration.

The publication available to read in English details how a Republican president can declare war on the cartels, clarifying that if the United States conducts operations in conjunction with Mexican forces, the neighboring government must know that it does not have “veto power” to prevent the American intervention.
The magazine notes that Trump has been eager to send Special Forces to Mexico and has talked about the idea for months.
In addition, another of the possible candidates for the presidency of the United States, Governor Ron DeSantis has an adviser with credits in the text.
