President Trump said in a newly released interview that he is moving to designate Mexican drug cartels as terror organizations. The decision reportedly has prompted the Mexican government to ask the administration for clarification, but Trump told Bill O'Reilly, in an interview posted to his website, that the process is well underway. The news comes weeks after the brutal killings of dual Mexican and American citizens in the northern part of Mexico. Trump did not indicate exactly how the U.S. policy would change from past years, but said he told Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador that the U.S. stands ready to "go in and clean it out." The Mexican president rejected the offer, Trump said, according to the BBC.
