The United States is preparing plans to send troops to Mexico for an anti-drug trafficking operation, NBC News reported on Monday. The mission is still allegedly in the early stages, which involve training and outlining its scope. According to unnamed current and former US officials, the military would “mainly use drone strikes to hit drug labs and cartel members and leaders,” supported by intelligence officers, and its actions would not be revealed to the public. The sources added that the mission would not work against the Mexican government.
