Mexico focuses on cross-border gun traffic after U.S. designates drug cartels as terrorists

 Politico has the story (from the Associated Press):

Mexico to reform constitution in wake of US terrorism designations
The move by the Trump administration has stirred worry that it could be a preliminary step toward U.S. military intervention on Mexican territory 

“What we want to make clear in the face of this designation is that we do not negotiate sovereignty,” Sheinbaum said. “This cannot be an opportunity for the United States to invade our sovereignty.”

"Her administration also proposed reforming the constitution to apply the most severe penalties available under law to foreigners involved in the building, smuggling and distribution of guns. Mexico has long demanded that the U.S. do more to prevent the flood of guns into Mexico from U.S. gun shops and manufacturers."
