A New York Times report warned that President Trump 's designation of Mexican drug cartels as foreign terror groups could "hurt" the U.S. economy.

Trump signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day in office, including one that designated international cartels and organizations, including MS-13 and the violent Tren de Aragua , as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

The report stated that going after these cartels "could be immensely complicated" as many American companies manufacture in Mexico and have ties with some of these cartels.
