Perhaps he should just kinda ... go there. Meet with the heads of the cartels personally. Have an informal dialogue. Just him, and Vance, and Hegseth, and Noem ...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nobody should negotiate with those drug obsessed criminals!
With criminals, I mean Trump and his Minions of course.
This is the most peace I’ve seen from any president, ever! There is so much peacing going on, I’m peaced out! How can one man throw around so much peace? It’s amazing! It must be his internal moral code that makes the peace just flow right out of him!
obligatory /s
I don't know, it's only about as much peace as you can fit in a tiny Carney hand.

He's gotta invade these countries to acquire the rare earth metals needed to create his peace prizes.
Magnets are made from rare earth metals. I hope he goes into the next MRI with his magnetic peace prize on.
Hopefully he swallows it first to keep it safe
I'm sure the peace he was talking about is that of the grave.
Trump and Hegseth have no clue what they are getting into. Cartels dont follow rules.
They will cut military personel into pieces, and hang the pieces from lamp posts in Juarez.
Wish he’d use ice instead then.
Sadly this will never happen. These walking units of wasted potential joined because they want to bully women, children, the weak and the old, maybe even murder someone. But war against someone shooting back? Mass resignations.
I mean....
The whole worlds going to climb up inside our asshole and start some shit.
Nah. The world is gonna just gonna wall you in with the Nazis. If this keeps escalating then countries will refuse to accept Americans into their countries, refuse American business, refuse American culture and so on. Eventually you will be stuck in the cesspool you created (don't mean you specifically BTW, just Americans in general).
I'm going to miss American TV and movies
It's ok I'm scum.
At least you've got a magnum dong.
And a wad of hundreds.
Wee, we get to be Russia and watch our country wither under an iron grip
Start with trump and his minions, please and thank you.
No idea if you approve or not. Nobody wants to be inside your asshole though
That's not true, I've heard his asshole is wonderful and warm.
I just purchased a time share there.
Username checks out
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
There you go with the "consent" thing. Trump doesn't know that word.
I'm not climbing anywhere but if the US invades and envelopes us in its asshole we have no choice but to start shit.
LoL the cartels are going to join forces and create a huge army to defend Mexico.
If we promise to buy lots of drugs do you think they'll come bust us out here in America?
I'm not sure the cartels are going to be the benevolent liberators you are looking for.
They could be the less malevolent ones maybe?
You "lol", but if trump threatens their black market economy you bet your ass they'll unite.
Literally "La cucaracha's" theme. And the Mexican revolution.
