Incoming US President Donald Trump signed a decree according to which Mexican drug cartels will be added to the list of terrorist organizations. The signing was broadcast on YouTube video hosting.
Answering questions from journalists immediately after the signing, Trump admitted that American military force would now be used against Mexican criminal groups. “[It] can happen. Stranger things have happened,” he said, adding that designations of drug cartels as terrorist organizations “people have been waiting for this for years.”

Returning to the issue of the possible use of the US military in Mexico to fight local criminal elements, Trump said that “Mexico probably didn’t want this, but we have to go for it.” “They are killing our people,” the American president added, adding that, according to his data, 250-300 thousand American citizens become victims of Mexican drug cartels every year.
In 2022, former Pentagon chief Mark Eksper, who held this position during Trump's first term, said that the latter was considering unannounced missile attacks on drug cartel laboratories in Mexico.

“We could just fire some Patriot missiles and quietly destroy the labs. No one will know that it was us,” Trump said then.
On January 20, speaking at his own inauguration, Trump promised to declare a state of emergency on the US-Mexico border and send the military there to combat the flow of illegal migrants, as well as begin the process of officially renaming the Gulf of Mexico into the American Gulf.
