  President-elect Donald Trump promised to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. This could pave the way for military action.

Donald Trump has called for Mexican drug cartels to be designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) in a recent statement, arguing that this would enable the U.S. to use more aggressive measures against them, including military action. Trump's proposal comes in the wake of increasing violence and drug trafficking issues linked to these cartels. He criticized the Biden administration for what he perceives as inaction against the cartels, which he claims are responsible for the deaths of many Americans due to drug overdoses, particularly from fentanyl. Trump's suggestion aims to leverage the legal and military tools available under the FTO designation to combat the cartels' influence and operations, highlighting the severity of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border and within the U.S. itself.
