    Does anyone think tariffs would hurt Mexican cartels in any way? I can’t see a connection? Unless you think this will incentivize the government of Mexico to destroy the cartels, which I think they’ve already been trying to do, no? I don’t know much about it but if I ran a drug cartel I certainly wouldn’t be afraid of government tariffs.

    • I don’t see the connection either. But Trump talks a lot of shite so no surprise there.mort_
    • No connectionmonospaced
    • Trump wants to destroy the world economy. There's no other logic out there.formed
    • think the result will more be just destroying the American economyNutter
    • Tarrifs will not affect the cartel at all, it's supposed to push the Mexican government to do more about the cartel but they won't
      ********
    • The new MX president as well as the last has a "hugs not guns" policy against the cartel, it's a joke
      ********
    • It's been said she's only the president because the cartel wanted her to be
      ********
    • Mexico is corrupt as fuck
      ********
    • Vapes are illegal down here, paid off by the tobacco industry BUT the cartel are allowed to sell them via vending machines
      ********
    • Cartel also have dispensaries that sell every drug you can imagine, their listed on Google maps, everyone knows where they are, cops down here let them be
      ********
    • The only thing that can stop the cartel is if the US invades, but Mexican politicians like it the way it is, so an invasion will probably turn Mexico into enemy
      ********
    • Every politician that runs with anti cartel policies gets assassinated, Google 'political assassinations in Mexico" the numbers are insane
      ********
    • Personally I think the tarrifs should be higher against Mexico, they already tarrifs US goods they just named it import tax
      ********
    • Mexico needs change but are incapable of doing it themselves
      ********
    • Because of the corruption
      ********
    • Do you really think the US military could defeat the cartels? Seems like they are too embedded into society...it would be worse than Iraq and Afghanistan.yuekit
    • it would be a nightmare in so many ways
      ********
    • One thing that's always a little mind-boggling to me is the sheer quantity of drugs that must be smuggled through commercial shipping etcyuekit
    • Could they really not put in place stronger controls/screening on imported goods at American ports? That might be one way to solve it.yuekit
    • They're sneaky fuckers ex: they'll sacrifice 20 tons of drugs (rat themselves out) to get 200 tons through at another location
      ********
    • They use soooo many methods to get drugs in, subs, drones, hidden compartments underneath ship hulls, tunnels, it's tough
