Trump to send US special forces hit squads to Mexico to assassinate drug cartel leaders in second term, according to sources
 [Mail] Donald Trump is considering sending special operations teams into Mexico to kill the heads of drug cartels if he retakes the White House in November, according to a new report citing three sources familiar with his thinking.
| Back when he was president the first time, he considered a lot, too. It was dreadfully amusing to watch the hysterics that stirred up. |
During his four years in office he pondered whether it would be possible to launch missile strikes on cartel operations.
And, with the threat of drugs smuggled across the southern border only increasing since then, he is now publicly campaigning on a platform that includes using covert means to hurt the gangs responsible.
Trump is said to be modeling his thinking on the the successful 2019 military raid that he ordered to kill ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
But the approach would come with the risks of angering the Mexican government.
