Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has reassured that “there is nothing to fear” after President Donald Trump said he will designate Mexican Cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

Speaking at a news conference in Mexico City on Wednesday, López Obrador said “I just want to tell everyone that there is nothing to fear,” and that the foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, would address the issue after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.
