Majority of Mexican cartels’ guns come from US, Sheinbaum says in response to Trump claims
AI Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Donald Trump's claim that Mexico is the "epicenter of violence" by stating that the majority (75%) of guns used by Mexican cartels originate in the United States. Sheinbaum urged the US government to increase efforts to stop the illegal trafficking of weapons into Mexico, arguing that this would significantly hinder cartel activity. Her comments followed Trump's speech at a Miami event where he proposed a "counter-cartel coalition" and claimed the US would do whatever is necessary to defend its national security. Sheinbaum has repeatedly rejected Trump's offers to send the US military into Mexico to combat cartels. A Mexican political analyst supported Sheinbaum, stating that the US demand for drugs and supply of weapons fuels the cartels.
