Back in October - Mexican official confirms cartel gunmen forced a dozen tanker trucks to dump gasoline at gunpoint
U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, also signed the letter, which accuses Mexico of trying to “nationalize its economy and renege on its commitments in the USMCA as a means of empowering its failing state-owned petroleum company.”
Nationalizing it's economy and thwarting our not so covert attempts at undermining it! The horrors!
What about the spirit of the US Mexico Canada Agreement ?!
USMCA more like US Marine Corp Agreement 
Plus, gasoline is far more expensive in Mexico, by about 125% in some instances.
Also Californians Flock to Mexico for Cheap Gas as Prices Rise to $6 in State
Californians are traveling to Mexico for cheaper gas, as fuel prices surge following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.
Awwwww is Mexico kind of immune to your sanctions shitfuckery becauss it nationalized it's oil and gas? 
Maybe the assets imbedded in the cartels are legitimately looking at Ukraine and Israel and saying “maybe working for Mexico wouldn’t be so bad”.
Edit: after reading the article it feels more like the CIA telling cartels to ramp up anti Americans activities in order to justify actions against them.
They want a 19th century trade war so bad rn.
It's time for traditional reelection war next year, Ukraine proven their ability to project force seems to be lacking, Mexico it is then.
All I want for election season is a US army dealt a defeat on the field.
