Marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, United States Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson delivered a speech warning that Mexican drug cartels are not merely drug-trafficking organizations. Speaking in Mexico City on September 11, the ambassador utilized the commemorative event to draw a direct parallel between historical terrorism and the activities of modern cartels.
During his address, Johnson defended the designation of Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. He cautioned that contemporary terrorist threats continually change their methods and appearances, using this evolution to justify the U.S. government's counter-narcotics and security stance regarding the cartels.
