Claudia Sheinbaum gives riposte to Trump’s accusations of ‘intolerable alliance’ between Mexican government and gangs

Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum accused the U.S. of harboring drug cartels and failing to address its own role in the fentanyl crisis.

Her remarks came after Trump alleged an “intolerable alliance” between cartels and Mexico’s government. Sheinbaum cited a 450% rise in U.S. citizen arrests for cartel-related crimes under her predecessor and urged Washington to crack down domestically.

Trump has previously threatened tariffs over drug smuggling.

Sheinbaum also criticized Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” warning of legal action.

      Cartel Candidate

      Yeah, those drug cartels sure are big fans of social democrats what with their not being big fans of capitalism. You know how much cartels hate capitalism. To misquote an Indiana TV ad tag line from my youth: they don’t want to make any money, they just love to sell drugs.
