New York City, USA — Chai, wahala don show for the U.S.A. as President Donald Trump don quietly sign order wey fit allow military to go fight drug cartels. Wetin be dis one? This one na serious matter, as e dey happen on August 8, 2025. Reporters sabi say Trump don tell Pentagon make dem get ready for some serious action against drug cartels wey dem don name terrorist organizations.
One official wey talk to ABC News yan say this military wahala no be imminent; but you know wahala fit land anytime. Wetin the order go fit do? We no go fit sabi now but people don dey raise eyebrow about how fit be legal to send military go fight drug peddlers outside America.
The New York Times don carry the gist say Trump sign directive wey say military fit prepare military options against these cartels. E don also make am clear say hin priority na to protect homeland – na so White House spokesperson, Anna Kelly talk when dem ask am wetin dey sup. Shey e fit be say the fight against these drug enemies na return to sender?
Trump self don clear say Latin America get plenty cartels wey dey scatter drugs like no tomorrow, and him don talk say dem go protect America. But when dem ask if hin go send troops go Latin America, him simply talk say “We dey play tough game, but we go talk more about am soon.” E no go dey surprised if dem dey use us military deploy big wahala go Mexico before we know wetin dey happen.
Speaking from Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum no gree been shake on the matter. She talk say U.S. no fit come do military operation for their land. “No invasion of Mexico,” she talk sharply, adding say dem get agreement but no military matter dey enter their territory.
Before this gist, Trump don put cartels like Sinaloa and MS-13 as global terrorist organizations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio don talk say this designation fit open door for America to attack dem like terrorist, not just drug dealers. But wetin this mean for normal people wey dey live for those areas?
Legal experts don raise one or two questions dey, saying FTO (Foreign Terrorist Organization) designation itself no mean say military force go dey happen. Dem need better authority, and wahala no be small when una go bring Congress matter enter dis one, especially since Democrats dey always dey pilot their own wahala for Trump mattas. E get levels!
So, who sabi? We dey watch as things dey unfold for this matter. E fit get as e go be for military legality, but one thing dey sure, the tension between U.S. and Mexico fit be like climbing pepper soup level if e no handle am well.
