Trump team debates "how much" they should invade Mexico, Rolling Stone reports

President-elect Donald Trump and his freshly selected Cabinet of loyalists are revisiting old plans to invade Mexico and “wage war” on its drug cartels, Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday. Another source told Rolling Stone that Trump is planning a “soft invasion” of Mexico where American military leaders would be tasked with assassinating top drug cartel members. When I am back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again.” In private conversations with GOP lawmakers, the president-elect said he would order Mexico to curb the flow of fentanyl in the U.S. or else he will order a military invasion, according to Rolling Stone’s report. Trump's pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has previously referred to Mexican drug cartels as “terrorist-like organizations poisoning our population” and said on Fox News last year that military action may be required to “put the fear in the minds of the drug lords.” Last year, Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., Trump’s pick for national security adviser, also introduced a bill to authorize the use of military force against Mexican drug cartels.
