Argentina Labels CJNG a Terrorist Organization

Argentina has declared the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) a terrorist organization, following a similar move by the U.S. last year. While the decision was announced by the president’s office, Mexico’s foreign ministry has yet to comment on this new designation.

Argentina Labels CJNG a Terrorist Organization

In a significant crackdown on international crime, Argentina has officially designated the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) as a terrorist organization. This designation was confirmed in a statement released by the president's office on Thursday.

This follows a similar move last year by former U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, which also labeled the CJNG as a foreign terrorist organization, aiming to curb the group's criminal operations.

Mexico's foreign ministry has abstained from immediate comment on Argentina's decision, leaving unanswered questions regarding potential diplomatic or cooperative responses.
