After the U.S. bombed Venezuela in the middle of the night and abducted President Nicolas Maduro, President Donald Trump was quick to threaten legitimately-elected governments in the region. In particular, Trump implied a hazy future conflict with Mexico in an interview with Fox News Saturday morning.

“So, was this operation a message that you’re sending to Mexico, to Claudia Sheinbaum, the president there?” Fox’s Griff Jenkins asked.

“Well, it wasn’t meant to be, we’re very friendly with her, she’s a good woman,” Trump said, “but the cartels are running Mexico. She’s not running Mexico. We could be politically correct and be nice and say, ‘Oh, yes, she is.’ No, no. She’s very, you know, she’s very frightened of the cartels. They’re running Mexico. And I’ve asked her numerous times, ‘Would you like us to take out the cartels?’ ... Something is gonna have to be done with Mexico.”

Social media wasted no time reacting to Trump’s proposition of interfering with the government of a U.S. ally.
