US Defense Secretary: If Mexico cannot meet Trump's border requirements, the United States will take military action

On March 1st, Jinshi data, according to The Wall Street Journal, US Defense Secretary Heger Seth had the first conversation with senior Mexican military officials, but the progress was not smooth. According to people who listened to the briefing of the January 31st conference call, Heger Seth told the officials that if Mexico did not address the collusion between the government and drug trafficking groups, the US military was prepared to take unilateral action. These people said that the senior Mexican officials who participated in the conference call were shocked and angry, feeling that he was implying US military action in Mexico. Heger Seth's private warning is now hanging over Mexico's trade negotiations with Trump. Mexican concerns include: the request for Mexico to end fentanyl smuggling and immigrant trafficking has received quiet support for potential US military action, not just a 25% tariff, which would weaken the country's economy.
