Mexico could widen suits against gunmakers if US declares cartels terrorist organizations

MEXICO CITY, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday that if the United States designated Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, Mexico would have to widen its suits against U.S. gunmakers.

Mexico says that its cartels largely obtain weapons brought across the border from the United States, and has sued gunmakers in the U.S. for their alleged role in arming criminals.
