Trader consensus reflects low near-term odds for a U.S. anti-cartel ground operation in Mexico, with only 1% probability by March 31 amid strict resolution criteria excluding intelligence or advisory roles, constrained by Mexican sovereignty assertions from President Sheinbaum—who rejected Trump's direct military aid offers—and U.S. War Powers Resolution requirements for congressional approval. Recent drivers include Defense Secretary Hegseth's March 5 urging of Latin American allies for aggressive cartel offensives, a White House March 7 proclamation committing to cartel dismantlement, and U.S.-aided Mexican raids like the February capture of Jalisco New Generation leader El Mencho via joint intelligence. Escalating U.S. strikes in Ecuador and Venezuela bolster mid-term bets at 29% by June 30, though bilateral tensions and trade risks loom over upcoming security talks.
