"You know the situation over there. Their government is willing to cooperate with us to crack down on drug trafficking."
"But things are complicated on the ground. The relationships are a tangled web, and situations can arise where they're willing but unable to act. Remind your people to be mindful of their methods."
"If we strain the relationship, it'll make things difficult in the future."

Bossing them around would definitely not go over well.
