Trump Declares Mexican Drug Cartels Terrorists, Orders Troops to Border Amid National Emergency
Jan 20, 2025, 02:09 PM
U.S. President Donald Trump has officially designated Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations through an executive order announced during his inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2025. This policy shift aims to combat drug trafficking and related violence by allowing potential military action and sanctions against these groups, aligning them with international terrorist entities. Trump also declared a national emergency and plans to send troops to the southern border to address the issue, which he sees as a critical threat to U.S. national security and public health due to the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
