How is the Trump administration escalating efforts to combat drug cartels and fentanyl trafficking in Mexico?

President Trump and CIA Director John Radcliffe have intensified action against Mexican drug cartels through increased CIA drone flights deep into Mexican sovereign territory. These drones collect intelligence on potential fentanyl labs, which CIA officers then share with Mexican officials to support joint operations. In response to the Trump administration's concerns about fentanyl, Mexico has reportedly deployed 10,000 troops to the border this month. However, the Trump administration is pushing for more aggressive measures, specifically demanding that Mexico increase efforts to destroy and dismantle fentanyl production labs and seize larger quantities of the drug.
