Thumbs Up Crime Syndicate: Cartel Sends CHILLING Warning to Trump in SEVEN Words

Donald Trump Sent Seven Word Warning From Cartel as Drug Gangs Designated Terrorists

El Chapo ALSO WARNS Trump For Threatening To End The Cartels

The US administration has taken the unusual step of officially designating eight drug cartels in Latin America as terrorist groups in a bid to reduce their influence

MailOnline 22 FEB 2025





Trump has labelled eight cartels as terrorist groups





Trump has been told '''imagine what I am going to do''' by a member of a Mexican drug cartel.


The United States government has formally designated eight Latin American organised crime groups that also operate in the US as foreign terrorist organizations. They are involved in drug trafficking, migrant smuggling and extend their territory through violence.

The Trump administration is applying a terrorist designation that?s normally reserved for groups like Islamic State or al-Qaida that use violence for political ends not for money focused crime rings such as the Latin American cartels.

The aim is to increase pressure on the groups and anyone who the US sees as aiding them. The list has the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the Gulf Cartel and Northeast Cartel, La Familia and Carteles Unidos in Mexico.

Also included is the Tren de Aragua, which originated in a Venezuelan prison but has spread to the United States, and the MS-13, which was formed by Salvadorans in Los Angeles but became endemic in Central America.

Critics of the move call it an unnecessarily broad and harsh one that could damage relations and paralyse trade with Latin America. Businesses, banks and buyers could fear possible US prosecution if they knowingly or unknowingly have any transactions that touch the world of the cartels.

Aid groups say some past US designations of groups as foreign terrorist organisations have threatened overall food imports into countries

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday: If they make this decree to investigate even more within the United States, the money laundering and the criminal groups that carry out those drug sales, it?s very good.

'''What we do not accept is the violation of our sovereignty.'''
