The statement of the Canadian ambassador in Mexico, Cameron MacKay, regarding the designation of drug trafficking groups as terrorist organizations helps to dismiss any intervention in Mexican territory, as President Claudia Sheinbaum explained on various occasions.
MacKay asserted: 'We will also designate drug trafficking groups as terrorist organizations.' David McGuinty, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness of Canada, also noted in a conference that criminal groups and Mexican cartels will be considered 'terrorist organizations,' following the same line as the United States government.
This occurred on the same day that the Federal Register of the United States published the official list of the six Mexican cartels and the two Latin American criminal organizations that will be considered terrorism under the administration of Donald Trump. In a meeting with the President of the Senate, Fernández Noroña, and Senator Ruth González Silva, MacKay also emphasized the new stance of the Canadian government regarding drug trafficking and drug trafficking.
The ambassador mentioned: 'In my country, the fentanyl crisis is a public health crisis with thousands of deaths. That is why we will also designate some narco groups as terrorists.' However, MacKay clarified that this measure only gives more power to the Canadian police to combat drug trafficking and fentanyl trafficking, showing that both North American countries oppose drug trafficking, with Canada aligning with the stance of the U.S.
