Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized Donald Trump’s executive order to label drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty and rejecting U.S. military intervention.

Trump’s order, part of broader measures on border security, could allow asset seizures and sanctions against cartels but faces skepticism for its effectiveness.

Experts warn it may complicate asylum claims, as migrants paying cartels for passage could face disqualification.

Critics see the move as political posturing, while some victims’ families hope the designation will bring justice and highlight Mexico’s cartel violence.

    Anyone laying odds for how long it’ll take for Trump to decide to invade Mexico? I’d give it two quarters, max.

      Predicting he’ll call Mexico an “American protectorate” or some other bullshit before/during/after he invades.

        it won’t be an invasion.

        it will be a special military operation.

          Special Freedom Operation.

          I mean it only makes sense to own the land with shores on the gulf of America.

          3 days in and out, just like Ukraine.

          It’s going to be a shit show when the next president takes over and has to get us out of conflicts with all of our neighbors. I suspect in the end we’ll end up losing territory rather than gaining any, and we’ll be sanctioned to hell by the rest of the world and paying reparations out the ass for generations.

        If Mexico becomes part of the US at least we’ll get rid of a lot of the immigration controversy, right? Right?!
