<p>The Trump administration is reportedly floating plans to send U.S. troops to Mexico to strike cartel footholds with drones.</p>
<p>If the plans are approved, troops and intelligence officers would be deployed to conduct ground operations in Mexico while hitting drug labs, cartel members, and kingpins, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-planning-new-mission-mexico-cartels-current-forme-rcna241167" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, citing two current U.S. officials and two former U.S. officials.</p>
<p>“The Trump administration is committed to utilizing an all-of-government approach to address the threats cartels pose to American citizens,” a senior administration official told NBC.</p>

<p>Many of the troops would come from the Joint Special Operations Command, serving under the authority of the intelligence community, according to the report. CIA officers would also play a role.</p>
<p>The mission, which has yet to receive final approval, would be carried out in secrecy, unlike recent strikes the Trump administration has carried out near the Venezuelan coast.</p>
<p>It could also be done with or without the support of the Mexican government, which previously expressed disapproval of similar plans that were reported in April. However, the Trump administration would prefer to work alongside Mexican authorities, according to NBC.</p>
<p id="anchor-ded6fb" class="body-graf">“We reject any form of intervention or interference. That’s been very clear, Mexico coordinates and collaborates, but does not subordinate itself,” Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum said at the time.</p>
<p>The Trump administration has carried out more than a dozen strikes in recent months on alleged drug boats in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-precision-strikes-on-venezuela-military-could-begin-within-hours">Caribbean</a> and the Eastern Pacific. President Donald Trump recently confirmed that he&#8217;s authorized secret CIA operations on Venezuelan soil.</p>
<p>The State Department designated six of Mexico&#8217;s cartels as foreign terrorist organizations in February, opening the door for a crackdown on violence and drug trafficking in the region.</p>
<p>The Department of War didn&#8217;t immediately respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment.</p>
