state department officials on this issue let's go to alan fischer now live from mexico city and allan president trump says this is bain considered for months it's clearly taken people by surprise in mexico. well i think it's taken people by surprise in the united states as well it appears that donald trump was under pressure from the lebanon family that's the american family who had jill mexican u.s. citizenship who were driving through a remote part of northern mexico at the beginning of this year when they were ambushed by one of the cartels 6 children 3 adults were killed were many members of the le baron family petitioned the white house and said they felt it was time for the u.s. to designate the cartels as a terrorist organization donald trump his self has said that it's time to start clearing the cartels out now there could be quite a distance between donald trump making this a moment's notice when he's speaking to a right wing radio talk show host and something actually happening there are

several legal steps but it certainly would cater towards his position of being hard on mexico hard on the drug traffickers as well but in mexico the president was asked about it during his daily news conference and he just said look it's the eve of thanksgiving this is about cooperation not confrontation the mexican president has famously refused to go up against donald trump so it doesn't want to upset him at this point but we know that the foreign minister said just a couple of days ago ago he didn't think the united states would take this step and certainly the mexicans have experience of donald trump saying one thing and then then not following through you remember almost a year ago when donald trump said he was going to close the mexican border and nothing happened. in fact be the case but what he's talking about here if he goes ahead and does this it does ignites them as terrorist groups it goes against the approach that they are adopting within mexico it also does not open the way for

more american direct intervention inside mexico and that's going to be of concern to the president. the mexican president that is. well that would be a huge concern under international law certainly the new mexican president who's been in office almost a year has decided that he would rather of hugs not bill as he believes in addressing the underlying social causes which give the cartels economic power so he is not very much in favor of attacking the cartels also to try and take on the cartels to make we need a much bigger force to be able to do it in the pockets where they exist in some power around the country but if the president where to designate the cartels a terrorist group 1st of all they would find their financial instruments in the u.s. if any bank was handling something that they felt was cartel funds perhaps even money laundering they would immediately have to put a freeze on not and reported to the government any possible members of the cartel

would be kicked out of the united states although that probably has happened already and people who are suspected of being members certainly wouldn't be allowed then but the big concern you're right is in mexico is if the united states decided to do something like a drone strike against the leader of a cartel member that then would impinge on mexico's sovereignty and i spoke to an expert about this just in the last 24 hours and he said look that would cause huge problems for mexico and would spark a nationalistic backlash here in mexico against the united states so as i said in my 1st answer there's a lot of steps for donald trump to go through but there's also a lot of considerations to take into account diplomatically and under international law. ellen thank you so much for that ellis is joining us from mexico city. in the u.k. opposition labor leader germany corben says he has proof that the u.k.'s health
