Mexico Cartel Violence Raises Concerns Ahead of 2026 World Cup Mexico’s role as co-host of this summer’s FIFA World Cup faces potential disruption after a surge in drug cartel violence, experts warn. CJNG Retaliates After Leader’s Death The Jalisco New Generation (CJNG), one of Mexico’s most feared criminal organizations, has clashed with the military, set roadblocks, and burned vehicles following the capture and killing of its leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho". The unrest began in Jalisco, where a red-alert security situation is now in place. Videos online show gunmen on patrol and smoke rising over major cities. The violence has spread to more than a dozen regions. World Cup Host Cities Affected Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco and home to over a million residents, is set to host four matches this summer. Mexico City will host five, and Monterrey will host four. Experts caution that maintaining security in these areas will be challenging. Javier Eskauriatza, assistant professor of criminal law at the University of Nottingham, said, "Cracking down on cartels triggers pushback. Managing spiraling violence can be very difficult." Cartels’ Economic Interests Despite the violence, experts suggest cartels have a vested interest in keeping the World Cup safe. Many cartel figures invest in hotels, restaurants, and local businesses, ensuring tourists spend money without major disruptions. "Cartels benefit when international visitors enjoy themselves," Eskauriatza explains. "While they bribe officials, they also play a role in the economy, so they avoid complete chaos during major events." Security Measures and Tourist Risks The U.S. government has advised Americans in Jalisco to stay indoors, while Canada has canceled flights to Puerto Vallarta. Flight tracking apps showed planes returning to their origin points. Dr. Karina Garcia-Reyes, criminology lecturer at UWE Bristol, commented, "There is a moderate risk for tourists this summer. Authorities should manage the affected areas, and visitors should follow local guidance to stay safe." The power vacuum left by El Mencho’s death may spark further cartel conflicts as contenders compete for leadership. Analysts warn this period of instability could affect safety if not closely monitored. Preparing for the World Cup Authorities are under pressure to balance military operations with tourist safety. With proactive measures, experts believe international fans can attend the tournament safely. Still, vigilance remains crucial.

Trump warns Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship would benefit China

Trump announces higher tariffs for countries manipulating trade deals Donald Trump, the US president, has warned that he will impose higher tariffs against countries who he believes are playing "games" with trade agreements. The Supreme Court has blocked the US President's global tariff plan. Trump posted on Truth Social that "Any country who tries to exploit the Supreme Court decision, especially those countries that have ripped off the US for years, will be facing much higher tariffs," Trump wrote. "Buyer beware." The Supreme Court ruled Trump had exceeded his powers under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which was the foundation for the majority of Trump's second term tariffs. New Tariffs for Global Trade Trump announced initially a global 10% tariff. He quickly increased it to 15% effective Tuesday. The tariffs are aimed at imported products, which companies that bring them to the US must pay. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling, which limits its previous power, there are still a variety of tariffs that apply to certain countries and products. Certain goods are excluded. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that the Administration is looking for legal ways to keep similar tariffs, even though current legislation cannot last longer than 150 days without Congress approval. Trump claims that he doesn't need any further approval because prior authorizations are sufficient. Democratic Opposition Chuck Schumer, Senate Democratic Leader warned Democrats that they would not allow the tariff plan to be extended beyond 150 days. He said that he would continue to oppose Trump's tariff taxes, citing the negative economic impacts on businesses and consumers. Trump has claimed that tariffs protect the national security, boost manufacturing in America, and create jobs. However, critics point out that tariffs can increase consumer prices, and harm the global economic system. According to a Federal Reserve Bank of New York study, US businesses absorbed 90% of tariffs imposed on imports coming from Mexico, China and Canada. International Impact The new global tariff rate of 15% will affect countries like the UK that negotiated special rates for their trade with the US. British officials expect that their current favorable trade position will continue, despite these changes. Businesses around the world report dealing with uncertainty due to constantly changing tariffs. Fraser Smeaton is the co-founder and CEO of a UK company that exports 60% of their products to the US. He described last year's tariff fluctuation as "rollercoaster" with rates ranging from 0% up to 145%. Trump called the Supreme Court's ruling "ridiculous and anti-American." There are still questions about the refunds that companies and consumers may be entitled to for roughly $130 Billion in tariffs paid by the IEEPA. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent believes that lower courts will resolve the issues and maintain tariff revenues.
