Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum furiously rejected President Trump’s accusation that she was allied with the drug cartels earlier this month, saying…

We categorically reject the White House’s slander against the Mexican government of having alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention of intervention in our territory.

If such an alliance exists anywhere, it is in the United States armories that sell high-powered weapons to these criminal groups, as demonstrated by the United States Department of Justice itself in January of this year.

But it’s being reported now that she’s trying to protect the cartels. Specifically, she is threatening a lawsuit against gun makes in America if President Trump designates the drug cartels as terrorist groups. She says she will sue American gunmakers as accomplices to organized crime if Trump doesn’t back down:

GUARDIAN – Claudia Scheinbaum warns of reciprocal action if Washington designates country’s cartels as terrorist groups

Mexico’s president has warned US gunmakers they could face fresh legal action as accomplices of organized crime if Washington designates the country’s cartels as terrorist groups.

The Latin American country, which is under mounting pressure from Donald Trump to curb illegal drug smuggling, wants its neighbor to crack down on firearms trafficking in the other direction.

“If they declare these criminal groups as terrorists, then we’ll have to expand our US lawsuit,” Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, said at a daily press conference.

A new charge could include alleged complicity of gunmakers with terror groups, she said.

“The lawyers are looking at it, but they could be accomplices,” Sheinbaum warned.

The drug cartels are terrorist groups. Why would she oppose this and try to protect them like this?

I honestly sounds like President Trump was right about this, and that the cartels are pressuring her to try and stop Trump from doing this. I mean, why else would she do this? There’s got to be some seedy alliance going on here.
