Mexican Generals Fear Trump's Next Moves

Mexican Generals Fear Trump's Next Moves

Mexican generals fear that after Iran, Trump will turn his attention to Mexico and want to bomb the cartels. President Claudia Sheinbaum is considering excluding military personnel from her pension reform. Sheinbaum aims to cut so-called 'golden pensions' by 50%, but it appears the armed forces will remain untouched. This could cause dissatisfaction within her Morena party, as other agencies like UNAM or Banxico will have their pensions reduced. Meanwhile, the Mexican government is negotiating with the US to resume flights for the airline Mexicana de Aviación, which would be another benefit for the armed forces.
