I keep pretty close tabs on cartel reporting, blogs, etc and the main takeaway I'm seeing repeated from most directions is that the cartels largely welcome this. It just means that prices for everything (drugs, human smuggling, etc) go up massively and they're confident that if they go to ground temporarily, the US will give up and move on.
The cartels are far, far more decentralized than they used to be, so clipping a faction leader or twelve isn't going to change anything about how they operate. US special forces was really good at taking apart terrorist organizations in the middle east, but those are way more top down in structure, way more reliant on figureheads for fundraising, weapons procurement, etc. The Cartels simply don't have those same weaknesses and can operate independently (probably better) in absence of it's "leadership".

Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) praised the confirmation vote.
“During the most dangerous national security moment since World War II, we cannot wait another minute to rebuild our military might and put the warfighter first. I greatly appreciate Mr. Hegseth’s commitment to the Senate’s constitutional advise-and-consent process, and I am excited to begin our shared work to return deterrence to the Pentagon,” Wicker said in a statement.

Remember, the core philosophical issue isn't even the tariffs....it's the stability. Companies can work around pricing increases, what they can't work around is not knowing what the price of things are.

It's the concerns of there maybe being tariffs in the future.
If the tariffs are on again, off again, maybe on again unless you give me a thing but maybe not again, etc, the companies will react worse than if the tariffs simply go on and stay on.
But they still prefer off
