Podcast Episode Description:

In this episode, we explore the potential escalation of CIA involvement in Mexico’s fight against drug trafficking. With increasing U.S. aerial surveillance at the border and claims of Mexico losing territorial control, the Mexican government—led by President Sheinbaum—may respond with symbolic resistance and expanded lawsuits against American gun manufacturers. We discuss the broader implications of unilateral U.S. actions on bilateral cooperation and political stability in Mexico, particularly in light of past warnings about a possible drug war. No matter how the Mexican government reacts, the political consequences could be profound.
