President Donald Trump 's executive order moving toward designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations would only impact Mexico if there's close coordination between the two governments.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico would defend its sovereignty and independence while seeking coordination with the U.S. The order did not list any Mexican cartels by name but said Cabinet secretaries would recommend groups for designation as terrorist organizations in the next 14 days .
