Donald Trump launched a strong warning against Mexico and Canada for allowing the constant flow of fentanyl into U.S. territory. "It better stop now!" he wrote on his Truth Social network, demanding real results and not diplomatic simulations. He directly pointed to Claudia Sheinbaum for tolerating the passage of a drug that has killed more than 100,000 Americans in recent years.
The response from the president was silence. Not a strategy, not a disassociation, not a single visible operation. Sheinbaum limits herself to protecting her image, while the crime routes remain active and protected. She talks about "rights" and "sovereignty," but in reality, fentanyl crosses the country as if it had immunity.
There is no will, no capacity, no courage to confront the cartels. The narco operates in peace, the authorities pretend to fight, and the federal government only acts when the scandal is already international. Sheinbaum doesn't lead a firm state: she leads a surrendered state.
The United States imposes order amid Mexican negligence
Amid Mexican passivity, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada. Additionally, he sanctioned Chinese products as direct pressure to cut the flow of the chemical precursor. The United States demands action, while Mexico manages excuses.
Canada replied firmly: appointed a fentanyl czar and designated five cartels as terrorist organizations. And Mexico? It repeats conferences, militarizes uncontrolled areas, and calls "criminalization" the attempt to enforce the law.
