President Donald Trump told Breitbart News on Monday that his administration is thinking very seriously about labeling violent Mexican drug cartels, or factions of these cartels, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
Asked by Deputy Political Editor Amanda House during a wide-ranging, exclusive Oval Office interview with Breitbart News whether his administration is considering designating factions of cartels, or cartels as a whole, as terrorist groups, Trump replied that he is.
We are. We are, Trump said. Were thinking about doing it very seriously. In fact, weve been thinking about it for a long time.
Its psychological, but its also economic, Trump continued. As terrorists as terrorist organizations, the answer is yes. They are.
The president went on to discuss the violence taking place in Mexico.
Mexico, unfortunately, has lost control of the cartels, Trump said. Theyve totally lost control of the cartels. Mexico last year had 42,000 deaths murders 42,000. Its considered one of the most unsafe countries in the world.
Now, Im with them. I really like the new president. Hes a wonderful guy, but you know, 42,000 murders. A lot of it is drug-induced, Trump continued.
