Mexico

Mexico is grappling with multiple challenges including severe water shortages in its Colorado River basin affecting agriculture and urban centers, trade disruptions impacting small businesses like shoe manufacturers due to US tariffs, and ongoing issues with drug cartels. Recent events include the capture of a suspected drug kingpin who had escaped house arrest and the arrest of an alleged Chinese fentanyl supplier linked to Mexican cartels. These developments highlight Mexico's struggle with environmental degradation, economic pressures from trade policies, and persistent security threats posed by organized crime.
