U.S. policy emphasizes coalition-building and partner-led actions against designated cartels, as seen in the March 2026 launch of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition and joint operations with Ecuador. Mexican forces conducted a major February 2026 raid killing CJNG leader El Mencho with U.S. intelligence support but without direct American ground participation or strikes. An April 2026 incident involving unauthorized U.S. personnel in a Chihuahua operation prompted Mexican diplomatic protests, highlighting limits on unilateral involvement. Traders weigh these patterns of intelligence sharing and regional training against the absence of confirmed direct U.S. kinetic actions on foreign soil through mid-2026, with scheduled coalition summits and ongoing designations potentially influencing future developments.
