Recently, Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador made his position very clear regarding how he plans to handle drug cartels and Mexico's relationship with the United States.
I wish our leaders took a "United States First" approach. I cant say I totally disagree with him but there is a level of violence occurring in Mexico that most Americans would not even begin to comprehend. I think his taking care of things at the economic level should be a focus but he needs to cut the head of the snake off first. I think his economic battle is going to take a very long time, I forget what I just read the other day, but I think he was able to raise the minimum wage to around $13 USD a day. Good luck getting cartels to stop doing what they are doing for $13 USD a day.
With the USG being the biggest drug dealer in the world it will be interesting to see how this works out. Plus the MIC won't like less sales if the policy were to actually work.
