Mexico threatens to escalate US gunmakers lawsuit with terror charges (www.theguardian.com)

Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned that if the U.S. designates Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, Mexico may expand its lawsuit against U.S. gunmakers, alleging complicity in organized crime.

The U.S. State Department reportedly plans to classify major cartels as terrorist groups, escalating tensions. A previous $10 billion Mexican lawsuit against U.S. gunmakers was dismissed, but legal efforts continue.

Mexico blames U.S. firearms for fueling cartel violence, while rejecting U.S. claims of government-cartel alliances.

The dispute coincides with trade threats, including possible tariffs on Mexican goods.
