The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed new sanctions on individuals and businesses tied to Mexico's Cartel del Noreste (CDN), with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent framing the move as part of a broader effort to disrupt the financial networks sustaining cartel operations.
In a post on X, Bessent said Treasury would "use all tools to protect our nation from violent cartels looking to reign terror on innocent Americans," adding that authorities would continue targeting revenue streams linked to fentanyl trafficking and human smuggling.
