Washington.- President Donald Trump reiterated that Mexico is largely governed by drug trafficking cartels.
The president made these statements at a press conference in Florida when asked about CIA drones flights over Mexican territory to monitor drug traffickers.
“I have a very good relationship with Mexico, but I think Mexico is largely governed by cartels, and that is something sad to say. If they wanted help with that, we would give it to him, ”said the president.
Trump insisted that “Mexico for years, but now especially, is directed by cartels” and accused the Mexican authorities of “allowed millions of people” to enter the United States through the common border.

The Republican once again assured migrants who arrive in his country through Mexico are “criminals” that come from prisons around the world.
Trump added that since he assumed power on January 20, he has managed to have “the safest border” that ever and congratulated the border patrol because “she is making it incredible.”
Several US media, including the CNN and The New York Times, reported Tuesday that the CIA is carrying out drone flights to monitor drug cartels in Mexico.
These undercover flights, which began during the administration of the former Democratic president Joe Biden (2021-2025), seek the location of fentanyl laboratories.
