Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized the Trump administration’s decision to label eight drug cartels as terrorist organizations, stressing that Mexico would not allow U.S. intervention in its internal affairs. She emphasized collaboration, not subordination. This came after the potential for military action, including drone strikes, was raised by Elon Musk. However, experts doubt military escalation, as the U.S. already targets Mexican fentanyl labs with drones. Mexico also plans legal action against U.S. gun manufacturers if the cartels are labeled as t*rrorists
