President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency and the closure of the southern border to undocumented immigration, as well as the declaration of nine drug cartels as terrorist organizations, will have a severe impact on Mexico.
Through the transport unions, the Gulf and Jalisco cartels have taken over drug trafficking and the works on the Interoceanic Corridor, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec Railroad, and the Barranca Larga-Ventanilla and Mitla-Tehuantepec highways.
Five of the 14 key points of Donald Trump’s strategy for 2025 that define his action plan, marked by a nationalist and conservative approach, have a severe impact on Mexico.
Two executive orders of the nine initially signed by the President of the United States during his second term in the White House have especially had this impact.
The declaration of a national emergency and the closure of the southern border in terms of undocumented immigration and the declaration of nine drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
The national emergency on the southern border includes the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, the presence of US troops on the border and the “stay in Mexico” policy.
The declaration of nine drug cartels as terrorist organizations implies the international designation to increase pressure and legal actions against them in Mexico.
The protection of the automotive industry with preferential production in the US, as well as the freedom to choose which cars to buy and the imposition of tariffs to enrich the United States.
With these decisions will come the establishment of international tariffs and the continuation of the construction of the border wall, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “US Gulf.”
In an exercise of creating future scenarios, we can anticipate that President Trump’s decision against the cartels will have a “repercussion” against drug trafficking in Oaxaca.
The blow of the government of the United States will come with the “Operation Swarm” against municipal presidents and police chiefs linked to organized crime and drug trafficking in Oaxaca.
The intelligence agencies, both civil and military, have widely documented the links and complicity of politicians, officials, mayors and popular representatives, with drug trafficking.
The diagnosis is clear and revealing, the organized crime gangs and the drug cartels, from the Gulf and Jalisco, especially, have a presence in the various regions of the Oaxacan entity.
In particular, both cartels are fighting for the squares in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where they already maintain control of the municipalities that the Interoceanic Corridor (CIIT) crosses.
Through the transport unions, they have taken over the various works of the Interoceanic Corridor megaproject and the Tehuantepec Isthmus Railroad (FIT).
The war to the death over drug trafficking and the works on the Barranca Larga-Ventanilla and Mitla-Tehuantepec highways is also taking place in the Papaloapan Basin, the Coast and the Central Valleys.
