This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Mexican land territory by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, land de facto controlled by Mexico or the United States, as of market creation, will be considered the sovereign territory of that country. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.Trader consensus reflects a 92.5% implied probability against a U.S. invasion of Mexico in 2026, driven by the absence of ground troop deployments despite President Trump's early-year rhetoric threatening land strikes on cartels. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly rejected U.S. military intervention, emphasizing sovereignty while ramping up domestic anti-cartel operations, including arrests and seizures under Plan Kukulkán. U.S. actions remain limited to naval and air strikes on suspected narco vessels in the eastern Pacific—such as the April 14 and 15 incidents killing smugglers—avoiding territorial incursion amid diplomatic pressures and congressional opposition from Democrats warning of disastrous escalation. No recent developments signal boots-on-the-ground plans, underscoring high barriers like bilateral cooperation needs and war risks with a key trade partner.
