Defense Secretary Hegseth Puts Mexico on Notice: ‘Curb the Influx of Migrants and Fentanyl, or US Military Will Strike the Cartels’

A report arose that, in late January, a mere 7 days after his confirmation as Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth warned Mexican officials that the US military was ‘ready to take unilateral action’ against the country’s drug cartels.

The only way for Mexico to prevent this, the Secretary reportedly stated, is by working harder to stem the flow of fentanyl and migrants into the US.
