Mexican drug cartels now outmatch the military in power. President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum is openly naming the problem and proposing U.S. cooperation to stop weapons flowing south and reclaim government control.
I'm sorry, but the Mexican cartels are so powerful in Mexico. The word is that they outpower, if you will, the Mexican military. I mean, these people will kill you at a blink of an eye. So credit to Sheinbaum, you know, for coming to the table and saying, listen, we're going to work with you. Trump likewise says, Hey, I'm going to work with you to make sure, you know, no crazy weapons get beyond, you know, our borders and into yours. That's a good deal. So we're going to have some fair trade practices. Sheinbaum wants to make sure that her economy is secure. She wants to make sure that her government is running Mexico and not the Mexican cartels. That's a big move. That's a brave move. Now, you won't read that in the headlines, but that is what's happening below the surfaces.
