U.S. Southern Command's early March joint operations with Ecuador against designated narco-terrorist organizations marked the first such collaboration but fell short of market criteria, as U.S. forces provided advisory support and monitoring from operations centers without direct ground participation or kinetic strikes on foreign soil. This keeps trader consensus at a 12% implied probability for qualifying action by April 30, rising to 42% by June 30 amid President Trump's March 7 proclamation vowing sustained cartel dismantlement and U.S. intelligence aid in Mexico's February raid killing CJNG leader El Mencho. Sovereignty concerns, host-nation invitations, and pre-World Cup security pressures in Mexico heighten escalation risks, though historical reluctance for unilateral U.S. military intervention tempers near-term odds.
