The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has responded to Donald Trump's accusations of a nexus between Mexican cartels and her government. She accused the U.S. of harboring criminals who facilitate drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, into the U.S. She emphasized that organized crime also exists in the U.S. and called for mutual action against drug trafficking, noting the 450% rise in arrests of American citizens for organized crime during her predecessor’s administration. Security experts emphasized the need for cooperative efforts between both nations to combat the widespread influence of organized crime in drug distribution.
There is also organized crime in the United States and there are American people who come to Mexico with these illegal activities, Claudia Sheinbaum said during her morning press conference on Thursday.
Taking down such groups would require efforts from both countries, he said. Riley also noted that American citizens have become increasingly involved.
