The Trump administration’s war on drugs is turning out to be worse than the first one
"The U.S. is plunging headlong into a revived war on drugs that could soon outdo the harms of its catastrophic predecessor. Over the past several weeks, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its military campaign against alleged drug traffickers: first with another wave of strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea and now with reported plans to send U.S. troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels.
The reported Mexican mission, which sources say would involve drone strikes and may not be coordinated with the Mexican government, would mark a stunning break from decades of U.S. policy and an unprecedented expansion of the drug war’s global reach.
The reported Mexican mission would mark an unprecedented expansion of the drug war’s global reach.
Critics of President Donald Trump’s actions are questioning both the legality and constitutionality of these operations, which have been launched without congressional approval or oversight. And the president has made clear he has no plans to seek either. Through its growing reliance on unilateral military force, the administration is displaying a dogmatic belief — detached from evidence — that violence and coercion can subdue a drug trade shaped by complex social, economic and geopolitical forces."
