Donald Trump's inaugural address signified a dramatic shift in U.S. policy regarding immigration and drug-related crime, introducing measures like designating cartels as terrorist organizations. This development grants Trump substantial authority and could lead to military interventions in Mexico under the pretext of combating terrorism. Experts warn that this marks a fundamental change in U.S.-Mexico relations, creating potential for unilateral military action that could threaten Mexican sovereignty and escalate tensions. As Trump emphasizes 'unprecedented' levels of defense, concerns about the ramifications and consistency of this approach linger.

Stranger things have happened, said the Republican about the possibility of action by the U.S. military.
