DeSantis' Proposal to Deploy Special Forces Against Mexican Cartels: Feasible or Far-Fetched?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential hopeful, has reiterated his pledge to send US Special Forces into Mexico to confront drug cartels if elected president. While experts acknowledge the frustration over the cartels' impact on Americans, they warn that such military action on Mexican soil could trigger a diplomatic crisis and have major implications for trade. Designating the cartels as a foreign terrorist organization would allow for lethal action, but it would still be seen as a violation of Mexico's sovereignty. Critics argue that military action is not a serious solution to the problem and that cooperation with the Mexican government is necessary.
