US President Donald Trump has offered the Mexican government to help with the fight against drug trafficking. “You could say that something has to be done at some point. It can’t continue as it is,” he said last week.
The head of state of Mexico, however, has rejected the offer for placing American armed forces. “I told him:” No, President Trump, our territory is inviolable, our sovereignty is inviolable, our sovereignty is not available, “said Claudia Sheinbaum. During her recent phone call, she asked Trump how he could help fight organized crime and suggested sending American fight.
However, she offered Trump a collaboration through an increased exchange of information and urged him to stop the illegal arms trade in Mexico.
Drug cartels exercise violence
Mexico has been suffering from the violent drug cartels for many years. Since 2006, nearly 45,000 murders have been registered in this context. Most of the weapons that the criminals use come from the United States according to official information.
Trump accuses the Mexican government not to take enough for illegal migration and drug smuggling to the US. He had recently announced rates for products from Mexico. At the beginning of March he said that DSS Latin -American country was already completely dominated by criminal cartels, “the murders, rape, torture and total control”. This is a “serious threat to national security” in the United States.
