Trump Accuses Mexico of Being the 'Epicenter' of Drug Trafficking and Demands Action
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
UNITED NATIONS – President Donald Trump accused Mexico on Tuesday of being 'the epicenter' of drug trafficking and demanded that the government of Claudia Sheinbaum 'regain control' of its territory. 'Mexico is the epicenter of cartel violence. Unfortunately, it is unacceptable for the United States to share a 2,000-mile border with territory controlled by enemy cartels,' he stated during his participation in the UN General Assembly. 'Therefore, Mexico must regain control of its territory from the enemies of humanity,' Trump added. The relationship between the United States and Mexico has been strained over the issue of drug trafficking. Sheinbaum has repeatedly accused Trump's administration of possible interference in Mexico and has rejected any unilateral operations by U.S. agencies on Mexican soil. However, the Mexican president has defended maintaining bilateral cooperation on security under the principle of 'coordination without subordination.'
