🚨 URGENT 🚨: The United States announces that tariffs on Mexico will take effect on Tuesday and threatens to take military action against Mexican cartels

The Wall Street Journal warned today that the United States will take military action against Mexican drug cartels if Mexican authorities do not take vigorous measures

The outlet reported that Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth told officials that if Mexico does not address the collusion between its government and drug cartels, the U.S. military is prepared to take unilateral action.

The top military leaders of Mexico who were on the call were shocked and outraged, perceiving his words as a hint of a U.S. invasion of Mexico.

Hegseth's warning adds to the pressure on trade negotiations as Mexico seeks to avoid the 25% tariffs that Trump promises to impose starting Tuesday along with a 10% tariff on imports from China.

And to show that he means business, the Trump administration made the decision to send 3,000 more soldiers to the border with Mexico as immigration rules tighten.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the deployment of elements from a Stryker brigade combat team and a general support aviation battalion for the mission, the Pentagon announced.

The troops will be stationed along the nearly 2,000 miles of border in the coming weeks. #TRUMP #mexico
