Recent reports reveal that the CIA, under President Donald Trump, has been flying MQ-9 Reaper drones over Mexico to gather intelligence on drug cartels. These missions, previously undisclosed, are part of the Trump administration's efforts to focus on national security threats at the US southern border.
The MQ-9 drones used in these missions are currently unarmed but have the capability to be equipped for precision strikes. While the US has used these drones to target terrorists in other regions, the focus has now shifted towards combating drug cartels in Mexico.
