Lopez Obrador denies US claim cartels control parts of Mexico

Al Jazeera  

Mexican president responds to top US diplomat’s comments in latest row over violence fuelled by drug gangs. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has pushed back against a claim by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that parts of Mexico are controlled by drug cartels, calling the allegation “false”. The comment represents the president’s latest effort to dispel mounting criticism in the United States around the power of drug cartels in Mexico, which American legislators and officials said have fuelled a US opioid epidemic. “I maintain that more fentanyl reaches the United States and Canada directly than reaches Mexico,” Lopez Obrador said this month, adding that while fentanyl production labs were present in the country, the raw materials used to make the drug were coming from Asia. This week, Lopez Obrador called US Department of State officials “liars” over an agency report that said there was credible information in Mexico pointing to unlawful or arbitrary killings by police, military and other officials.
