Trump’s ‘total elimination’ strategy helped pave the way for cartel kingpin’s demise

It has been revealed that US President Donald Trump played a hand in the death of Jalisco New Generation leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes. The kingpin’s death was the culmination of a more than year-long, aggressive cartel strategy that US officials describe as a policy of “total elimination.” El Mencho was one of the most wanted drug lords in the Western Hemisphere, with criminal networks in nearly all 50 US states. He was killed this month during a Mexican military operation in Tapalpa — an outcome US intelligence helped make possible. On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order designating several cartels as foreign terrorist organisations, which unlocked enhanced surveillance and prosecution tools for US law enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi later issued a policy shift instructing federal prosecutors to adopt a “total elimination” mindset toward cartel leadership.
