Source refs: `video:interview-lhssc-w0bk4@transcript:v1#seg-0054` - diagnosis: Jiang theorizes that anti-cartel moves may mask a deeper Washington conflict in which Trump is really targeting CIA-linked drug-running, human-trafficking, and shadow-finance networks. Source refs: `video:interview-sutm8lojrqw@transcript:v1#seg-0053` - prediction: Jiang predicts that Trump may redirect pressure toward Mexican cartels, which he describes as tied to the CIA, a global deep state, and transnational financial elites.
