Despite the efforts of the US government, the drug cartels continue to expand their influence by establishing alliances with illegal international gangs and organizations, according to the anti-drug agency (DEA-Drug Enforcement Administration). Due to its size, impact, violence, and operational capacity, DEA pays special attention to six Mexican Drug Cartels for traffic of large amounts of Marijuana, Fentanyl, Cocaine, Heroin, and Methamphetamine Annually.
President Donald Trump stated during a visit to the United States Southern Command in Miami, Florida, that he pledges to work "tirelessly" to dismantle the cartels and end illegal drug trafficking also in South America, a fight that has caused the thousands of people killed.
In 2019 After the US Thanksgiving holiday in USA President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on his Morning Press Conference: Mexico "Would Never Accept" any violation of its sovereignty and that the government was committed to tackling transnational organized crime, adding: "Mutual respect is the basis for co-operation".
Speaking only of the National Army, SEDENA (Secretariat of National Defense) currently has a number of 365,454 soldiers, of whom 71,094 are commissioned by President Andres Manuel López Obrador to security tasks in support of the new "National Guard" who It will be under the supervision of the Mexican army the police that watch and protect on the streets of Mexico.
Currently, the president also needed the support of this army on health activities resulting from COVID-19, in addition to the construction of the New Mexico City International Airport called "Felipe Ángeles" and the branches of the new "Welfare Bank" which is a president's new banking project; as well as the care and vigilance to avoid clandestine theft of fuel commonly named "Guachicol";
and finally "The fight against Organized Crime" that according to reports from international organizations could have small armies in each cartel of between 3,000-10,000 armed and trained hitmen and terrorists, some of them deserters from military armies around the world or former chiefs and special forces, although these groups are integrated by few people they are extremely violent and handle large amounts of money, which is why the US government strongly believes it is convenient to join this dismantling with the help of its intelligence systems and specific organizations to combat drug trafficking since 2020 to the Next Decades.
But experts also have questions such as: Where do these small armies buy their weapons? How do they send and receive money on the financial system internationally? And if citizens are in danger at some future time, ¿What would the use of weapons in self-defense be like? which can be punished today with jail for being a restricted activity regulated by army.
