Trump’s Plan to Take Down Cartels Gets Shut Down

President Trump’s plan to launch a military coalition against cartels isn’t getting the thumbs up from Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum. She says it’s rich that Trump’s talking tough when the US won’t even get its own house in order.

Mexico’s President Fires Back

Sheinbaum thinks the US should focus on stopping guns and drugs from flowing south, rather than trying to strong-arm Mexico into letting American troops operate on their turf. It’s a pretty valid point, given the US’s own issues with gun violence and addiction.

Trump’s response? Mocking Mexico’s refusal to play ball. Because, you know, that’s exactly how you build trust with a neighboring country. It’s a ridiculous move, and it won’t solve anything.
