Trump's plan to designate cartels as terrorist groups would hurt the U.S. economy.

Why Trump's plan to designate cartels as terrorist groups would be bad for the stock market? Pull the headline up. Everything Cassin Rothson Fitch has been saying on my show for 25 years. Trump's like, no, our business is not going to be war and fentanyl and cocaine. It's going to be murder and transparent and heroin. not doing that. And Trump didn't have full control of our military in his first term. Remember? Yeah, there's the headline. How labeling cartels' terrorists could hurt the U.S. economy?

Labeling cartels as terrorist groups would cause U.S. businesses to avoid working with Mexican companies due to fear of unwittingly supporting a terrorist group.

So that article that Alex is citing isn't about the stock market relying on the cartels smuggling in drugs. It's about how there's a lot of legitimate businesses in Mexico that are run by cartels or cartel-connected people. So if they're labeled as terrorist groups, it'll have the likely effect of making U.S. businesses not want to work with Mexican companies out of fear that they might be unwittingly supporting a terrorist group.
