Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has warned U.S. gun manufacturers of potential legal action for complicity in drug cartel activities if the U.S. designates these cartels as terrorist organizations. She highlighted that 74% of weapons used by Mexican cartels come from the U.S., with estimates suggesting between 200,000 to 750,000 firearms are smuggled into Mexico annually. The U.S. State Department is planning to classify major Mexican cartels as terrorist groups, including the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels. Sheinbaum vehemently rejected U.S. accusations of her government colluding with these organizations, insisting responsibility lies with American gun shops.
