Trump Offers Troops To CRUSH Mexico Cartels |‘No Foreign Boots Here,’ Says Mexican Prez Sheinbaum

President Trump has offered to deploy U.S. troops into Mexico to crush powerful drug cartels, calling them “evil” and accusing them of killing Americans while raking in billions. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum flatly rejected the offer, citing national sovereignty and warning no foreign military will step into Mexico. Trump called Sheinbaum “too afraid” and said if Mexico won’t act, the U.S. may do it alone. The standoff escalates tensions as fentanyl deaths surge and Trump’s rhetoric grows more aggressive ahead of the 2024 election cycle. #Trump #Mexico #DrugCartels #Sheinbaum #FentanylCrisis #USMexicoRelations #BorderSecurity #TrumpSpeech #CartelWar #NarcoState #Sovereignty #TrumpVsCartels #MilitaryIntervention #BreakingNews #FentanylDeaths #USPolitics #ClaudiaSheinbaum #TrumpPolicy #DrugWar #DEA #SecurityCrisis #Narcos #CartelViolence #Trump2024 #MilitaryAction #WarOnDrugs #MexicoRejectsTrump #ForeignPolicy #TrumpThreat #USMexicoStandoff Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.125~

U.S Military Using CHINA-MADE Drones? Pentagon's Tariffs Blue List IGNORED By Defense Firms

Despite Trump-era tariffs and Pentagon bans, nearly every drone used by American companies still contains critical Chinese components. From engines to airframes and batteries, U.S. drone tech — including military-grade hardware — remains heavily reliant on China. Silicon Valley startups, defense contractors, and even top officials like VP J.D. Vance have been exposed using Chinese tech. With China controlling nearly 90% of global drone hardware, experts warn that any cutoff couldcripple the U.S. drone industry for up to a year. #ChinaTech #Drones #USMilitary #DefenseIndustry #DroneWar #TradeWar #Pentagon #SupplyChainCrisis #BeijingTech #JDVance #AmericanDrones #TrumpTariffs #NationalSecurity #TechDependence #DronePolitics #SiliconValley #TariffBackfire #DroneImports #BlueList #ChinaControl #CriticalTech #USvsChina #DroneMarket #ChineseHardware #TechNews #BreakingNews #DefenseTech #AIandDrones #WarTech #DroneShortage #BannedTech

U.S Army Commander Suspended Over 'Missing Trump Wall'| No Photos Of Trump, Vance, Hegseth Displayed

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision. #Trump #JDVance #PeteHegseth #FortMcCoy #MilitaryNews #Army #CommandWall #ColonelRamirez #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #DefenseDept #USArmy #BreakingNews #PortraitFlap #LeadershipShakeup #DOD #TrumpPortrait #MilitaryCommand #USPolitics #ArmyInvestigation #MilitaryControversy #Pentagon #Vance #TrumpSupporters #ArmyBase #SheylaRamirez #NewsUpdate #XPost #GOP #MilitaryReform #CommandScandal Also Read Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc
