BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations

President Trump has designated Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, aiming to crack down on drug trafficking across the U.S.-Mexican border.

The FTO and SDGT designations will apply to non-Mexican gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, potentially impacting Americans doing business south of the border and Mexicans trying to immigrate north.

While not a declaration of war, the terrorism designations could politically pave the way for U.S. military intervention in Mexico without congressional approval, following a pattern of mixing the war on terror with the war on drugs in other countries.
