American companies operating in Mexico are facing mounting threats, including extortion, hijackings, and coercion by cartels, according to a new report by Virginia-based security firm Global Guardian.
The study, titled 2025 Worldwide Threat Assessment, warns that cartel extortion of businesses has increased in both scope and scale, posing a growing risk to U.S. firms. The report suggests that unless Mexico's security environment undergoes substantial change, these threats will continue to escalate.
