Trump is try again working on fixing another one of America's problems.
8 cartels have been officially designated as terrorist organizations.
This will likely positively impact Mexico, where cartels are the fifth largest employer in their country, and negatively impact the Democrats, who not only rely on these cartels to smuggle illegals and fentanyl into the county, but are also absolutely furious that trump is taking steps towards fixing America's problems

Here Are The Cartels the State Department Declared Terrorist Organizations
The United States Department of State branded eight cartels and criminal gangs as terrorist organizations on Wednesday, including Tren de Aragua and MS-13.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote in a declaration entered into the Federal Register that there was enough evidence to change the definition of the groups, known for human smuggling, drug trafficking, and acts of violence against immigrants and American citizens.
Why It Matters
Designating cartels as terrorist groups will make it easier for the U.S. to use military force against them. It would put the groups in the same category as the Taliban and Hamas—extremist groups that the U.S. and its allies have gone to war with.
President Donald Trump ran for reelection on the promise of getting tough on border security, including tackling the criminal gangs known to have penetrated the U.S.-Mexico border, and said these groups were the main driver of illicit fentanyl into the country.
The move by the Department of State comes after an executive order signed by President Trump shortly after his inauguration, branding Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO).
Tren de Aragua (TdA), Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), Cartel de Sinaloa, Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, Carteles Unidos, Cartel del Noreste, Cartel del Golfo, and La Nueva Familia Michoacana are all now deemed FTOs.
