President Donald Trump wants the military to go after drug cartels. However, it's unclear how much of this is currently possible as there might be a few thin lines to tip toe around on this. ABC News reported:
President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to prepare options for the possible use of U.S. military force against drug cartels designated as terrorist organizations, two U.S. officials confirmed to ABC News on Friday.
One official said that any possible use of U.S. military assets is not imminent.
It remains unclear exactly what the authorization will allow and what military operations would be considered as potential options that the U.S. military has been authorized to prepare. There are sure to be questions about the legality of such operations.
