Rising Tensions Between Mexico and the US Over Cartel Designations
In light of the recent US designation of several Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, Mexico is moving to reform its constitution to protect national sovereignty amidst fears of potential military intervention by the US. Mexican President, accompanied by mayoral candidate Sheinbaum, has vowed to resist any form of foreign intrusion in the fight against organized crime. The US has intensified its crackdown on cartels, leading to a turbulent diplomatic environment as Mexico threatens legal actions against American gun manufacturers, whom it accuses of enabling these criminal groups. Both nations are at a critical juncture as Mexico aims to assert its autonomy while addressing the pervasive influence of drug cartels.
