The Mexican Foreign Ministry said it hopes to meet with its counterparts in the US State Department after President Donald Trump announced plans to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
The ministry also plans to discuss ways to reduce the influx of illegal immigration across the US-Mexico border, as well as the flow of weapons and money linked to drug traffickers.
President Trump confirmed the terrorist designation had been in the works for months in an interview with conservative media host Bill O’Reilly published earlier on Tuesday, but provided few additional details.
