Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says she’ll propose reforms to the country’s constitution aiming to reinforce the nation’s sovereignty, after the US designated several Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations – a move that could potentially lay the groundwork for direct US strikes inside Mexican territory.

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday that she will propose a constitutional reform aimed at protecting Mexico's national sovereignty, one day after the U.S. designated various Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

As the US officially designates six Mexican cartels as terrorist groups, Mexico's president warns the United States against any violation of its territory.
