Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday that if the United States designated Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, Mexico would have to widen its suits against U.S. gunmakers. Mexico says that its cartels largely obtain weapons brought across the border from the United States and has sued gunmakers in the U.

President Trump ordered the U.S. State Department to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations shortly after taking office. In response, Mexico suggests that it will widen its longstanding fight against US gun makers.

Claudia Sheinbaum warns that Mexico could broaden its lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers if the U.S. classifies Mexican cartels as terrorist groups.

The designations include the Sinaloa cartel, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, Cartel del Noroeste, La Familia Michoacana and the Carteles Unidos
