Referring to a recent article in The New York Times, the Mexican newspaper asserted that this is a resounding confirmation of the hypocrisy that taints all aspects of the so-called “war on drugs.”
It added that this is, in reality, “interference whose main victim is the Latin American and Caribbean region.”
According to the newspaper, The New York Times claimed that Mexican police are “overwhelmed” by drug cartels due to their use of weapons and ammunition made for the US military. La Jornada remembered that since 2021, Mexico has filed lawsuits in U.S. courts against arms manufacturers that design, market, and distribute their products in ways that actively facilitate illicit trafficking into this Latin American nation.
U.S. President Donald Trump “would do well to use the formidable espionage apparatus he claims to have to control crime within his own country, instead of squandering public funds on kidnapping heads of state, hunting five-year-old children, and supporting genocide against the Palestinian people,” La Jornada stressed.
