Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, 'It allows us to now target what they're operating and to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense, whatever to target these groups if we have an opportunity to do it.' He further emphasized the need to treat cartels as armed terrorist organizations.
