Trump threatens strikes in Mexico after the US president claimed that the country is run by cartels.

US President Donald Trump has signalled that he would order strikes against drug cartels on Mexican territory.

He renewed the threats against America’s southern neighbour. This action followed the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US commandos. They conducted a lightning raid on his compound in Caracas last week.

The US regime, dubbed a rogue nation, accuses Maduro of narcotics trafficking, which he has fervently denied.

Trump has also accused Mexico of flooding the US with drugs and illegal immigrants. He has described many of these immigrants as violent criminals. Since September 2025, the US has struck at least 35 alleged cartel boats in the Caribbean.

‘We’ve knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by water. Now, we are going to start addressing the cartels by hitting land.’ Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night.

‘The cartels are running Mexico. It’s very, very sad to watch and see what’s happened to that country,’ Trump said.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum downplayed Trump’s rhetoric as part of his communication style.

She added that she had instructed Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente.

He was to speak with the US Secretary of State. She asked Marco Rubio to coordinate with Juan Ramon de la Fuente. She also mentioned talking with Trump to strengthen coordination, if necessary.

Last week, the Mexican Foreign Ministry condemned the US military raid in Venezuela as a serious threat to regional stability.

Following the abduction of Maduro, Trump also traded insults with Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whom he labeled a sick man. 

The leaders spoke by phone on Wednesday to defuse tensions, with both describing the conversation as cordial.
