Deploying troops to Mexico, Trump this time wants to make a big move.

After taking office, Trump has proposed many ideas that seem bizarre to people, giving the impression of wild imagination and mental confusion. For example, Trump proposed annexing Canada, making it one of his states. Given that Canada's area is even larger than the United States', if this annexation were to happen, it would be like a snake swallowing an elephant. Trump also proposed annexing Greenland, which was strongly opposed by Denmark and the autonomous government of Greenland. Trump's proposal to reclaim the Panama Canal was naturally rejected outright.

Now Trump has raised the issue of sending troops to Mexico, citing the need to crack down on drug traffickers. On May 3rd local time, Mexican President López Obrador stated that he had firmly rejected U.S. President Trump's recent proposal to allow U.S. troops to enter Mexico to crack down on drug cartels. The Mexican president emphasized that Mexico is a free, independent, and sovereign country with inviolable territory and sovereignty that cannot be traded. Clearly, Mexico is also very angry about Trump's proposal to send troops to Mexico and strongly opposes it.

Trump is well aware that the rampant drug trafficking in Mexico is fundamentally due to the United States, as the main backers of the drug cartels in Mexico are all in the U.S. Most of the wealth gained by Mexican drug traffickers ultimately flows to the U.S., leaving only the disasters behind in Mexico. Mexico has been striving to crack down on drug traffickers, but progress has been extremely difficult due to U.S. obstruction.

Trump's proposal for U.S. troops to deploy to Mexico is clearly not to crack down on drug traffickers, but to achieve the occupation of Mexican territory and control illegal immigration. Cracking down on drug traffickers is just an excuse; controlling the Mexican border and cutting off the channel for illegal immigrants is Trump's real goal. Trump wants to make a big move, achieving both territorial expansion and appeasing his supporters while controlling Mexican territory and cracking down on illegal immigrants.
