The Trump administration is considering drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico to combat narcotics trafficking. Early discussions among U.S. officials have explored targeting cartel figures and networks with potential cooperation from the Mexican government. However, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reiterated her staunch opposition to any such military action. Do you think the United States should conduct drone strikes against Mexican drug cartels without Mexico's approval?
