On the 20th of February, at President Donald Trump’s request, the US State Department designated eight criminal networks as Foreign Terrorist Organisations (FTO). The Canadian government also designated seven transnational criminal organisations.
Both governments have identified six Mexico-based cartels within these organisations. In this podcast, our Lead Security Analyst for Mexico and Central America, Raúl Iglesias, who is based in Mexico, discusses the impact the designation will have on Mexico’s security environment, and offers his advice for organisations operating in Mexico.
