Mexican president blasts US for harboring drug cartels
Briefly

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.
