COMMENTARY President Trump is reviving a longstanding U.S. urge to have the military fight the hemisphere's drug cartels — but history suggests sending troops to take down traffickers usually ends badly.

The news release from the Drug Enforcement Administration trumpeted a “bold bilateral initiative” with the Mexican government to crack down on cartels that smuggle drugs across the southern border. But Tuesday morning, a day after the DEA’s announcement, President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said she had no idea what U.S. officials were talking about.

The president has ordered the Pentagon to use the armed forces to carry out what in the past was considered law enforcement.

The U.S. has suspended live cattle imports from Mexico due to concerns about the New World Screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite found in southern Mexico.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is pressing the Trump administration to repatriate 14 Mexican nationals being held at Alligator Alcatraz, the the controversial immigration detention center in the Everglades.

‘We’ve been decimated,’ a longtime Florida tomato grower says about the industry in the Sunshine State.

Jorge H. Martínez, owner of a small Mexican company near the U.S. border, has seen how President Donald Trump’s threats of steep tariffs have upended markets, bent geopolitics and thrown businesses into uncertainty.

Distraught families from across the country have already started reaching out about clothing items they say they recognize.

COMMENTARY If Mexican and Latin American leaders are stunned by President Trump's thug behavior, maybe it's because they never imagined the U.S. would elect a guy who looks like so many of them.

President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government made major concessions — and delivered results — to avert President Trump’s 25% tariffs. He imposed them anyway.
