The headline suggests that there is a connection between the assassination of a Mexican ‘drug lord’ and a frightening plan by Trump. To provide further context, an article with this headline would likely discuss how former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration had strategies related to combating drug cartels and how these strategies might have influenced or played a role in actions against drug lords in Mexico. However, without additional information, it is difficult to provide specifics about the nature of Trump’s plan and its implications.

**Mexico’s ‘Drug Kingpin’ Killed: Backed by U.S. Aiming to Dominate the Western Hemisphere**

The killing of Nemesio Oseguera, known as ‘El Mencho’, the leader of one of the world’s largest drug cartels, CJNG, in a military operation supported by the Trump administration, marks a significant milestone in Mexico’s crackdown on drug trafficking. El Mencho was fatally injured in a large-scale military operation in Jalisco and died while being transported to Mexico City.

The operation resulted in the death of seven people, including El Mencho, the capture of two individuals, and the confiscation of a variety of weapons. Jalisco has been a hub for smuggling drugs like fentanyl into the U.S. El Mencho’s rise from selling avocados in a poor environment to becoming a police officer and then a notorious drug lord highlights his transformation into a major criminal figure by the 1990s.

The Trump administration, which applied consistent pressure to dismantle drug cartels, designated CJNG as a foreign terrorist organization and even put a $15 million bounty on El Mencho. The operation, supported by a U.S.-led joint task force, was hailed as a major success against one of the cruelest drug criminals affecting both nations and Latin America.

As Trump aims to extend influence in the Western Hemisphere, his administration has increasingly targeted drug cartels and governments, evident in recent sanctions against countries like Cuba. This operation might also increase instability in Mexico, possibly leading to power struggles within the region and retaliatory violence from cartel members.
