In an explosive interview with The Bureau's Sam Cooper, David Asher - a former senior U.S. State Department official with close ties to the Trump administration's financial and national security apparatus—issued a stark warning: Canadian banks could soon face a "new universe" of regulatory scrutiny from the U.S. Treasury. This follows the formal designation of Mexican cartels, including the Sinaloa group, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). According to Asher, the command-and-control structure for laundering proceeds from synthetic narcotics—produced using Chinese precursor chemicals—is largely orchestrated by Chinese triads operating out of Canada.
Asher warned that these transnational crime gang nexus seriously threatens both U.S. national security and the stability of the North American financial system.
