Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump don waka enter matter wey dey burn since Friday as him don sign order wey fit allow U.S. military action against drug cartels wey dem don label as terrorist organizations. E be like say dis matter don turn serious as two U.S. officials confirm am to ABC News. But no need dey shake leg, because dem talk say any military action no go happen soon (abi na later?).
Trump don direct Pentagon make dem prepare options wey fit carry U.S. military go tackle these cartels. But na wetin exactly dem fit do dey raise eyebrows everywhere (na wetin dem go fit take military?). Still, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly shine light say di main gist na to protect homeland – like say e be guard for house when una dey party.
Di Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, don come talk say no need dey worry about U.S. troops for her territory. She insist say Mexico no go allow any military invasion, dem go only cooperate joint effort. She even make am clear say, “No invasion of Mexico.” (E be like say she don draw line, no cross am o!).
Recently, Trump don label cartels like Tren de Aragua, Sinaloa Cartel, and MS-13 as foreign terrorist organizations. Dis matter don dey cause problems as people dey wonder wetin fit happen next. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, don confirm say if dem fit target these people, dia operations fit change forever. But wala, some experts dey talk say dis designation no mean say military go come flex muscle without proper authorization.
Di law wey govern wetin military fit do no just dey straightforward – it no too dey allow military go dey play for domestic issues, as per Posse Comitatus Act. Dem no fit just carry guns dey run local gist like say na carnival. So, the wahala bi say dem go need better legit reason to use force, be it from Congress or executive order.
On top of dis, legal experts don already raise concerns about di whole plan. Dem dey ask, “Abeg, are we sure say we fit handle dis matter well?” Many dey remember say past U.S. efforts to curb drug trafficking for Latin America no really work well. If dem no careful, dis military action fit backfire and cause wahala wey dey affect innocent civilians.
As di political tension dey rise, dem go need find balance between security and respect for sovereignty. Mexican officials don talq plenty about any U.S. military presence within dia borders don be serious issue. We go dey watch as dis drama dey unfold, because e be like say we dey enter another chapter wey fit change everything.
So for now, Trump don sign order make military prepare, but no be time to panic. E get plenty questions wey still dey hang for air, and we go dey look sharp to see how dem go handle di whole yarn.
