Trump Signs Executive Order at Inauguration, Designating Drug Cartels as Terrorist Organizations Amid National Emergency
Jan 20, 2025, 05:28 PM
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. This action was announced during his inauguration ceremony at the Capitol in Washington D.C. The designation aims to address the health crisis in the U.S. caused by drug consumption, particularly the use of fentanyl, which is 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more than heroin. Trump's move is part of a broader set of actions related to declaring a national emergency at the U.S. southern border, which includes deploying troops to the area.
