Sheinbaum Blasts US for Harboring Drug Cartels

Mexico's president has accused the US of harboring drug cartels and American citizens of working with organized crime groups in Mexico, in a riposte to Donald Trump's allegation of an "intolerable alliance" between traffickers and her government. "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. "Otherwise who would distribute fentanyl in the cities of the United States?"

The Mexican president's comments follow a report published on Monday which showed that arrests of US citizens for offenses related to organized crime had increased by more than 450% during the tenure of her predecessor, Andrs Manuel Lpez Obrador. Sheinbaum called on Washington not just to help crack down on cartels in Mexico, but for the "United States to do its job in the US, to make the arrests that need to be made in order to halt the trafficking of drugs in its own country".
