US President Donald Trump said that his administration will begin designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations, citing their rule in narco- and human trafficking.
In an interview with conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly that aired on Tuesday, President Trump said the move had already been in the works for three months.
“They will be designated … I have been working on that for the last 90 days. You know, designation is not that easy, you have to go through a process, and we are well into that process,” the president said.
