    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “Of course we are going to cooperate in fighting drugs, above all because it has become a very sensitive, very sad humanitarian issue, because a lot of young people are dying in the United States because of fentanyl,” the president said.

    Asked about those comments at the time, residents of one town in the western Mexico state of Michoacan who have lived under drug cartel control for years reacted with disgust and disbelief.

    López Obrador has also made a point of visiting the township of Badiraguato in Sinaloa state, the home of drug lords like Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, at least a half dozen times, and pledging to do so again before he leaves office in September.

    But it did note the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions Friday on a Sinaloa Cartel money-laundering network in which the proceeds of fentanyl sales were used to buy shipments of cell phones in the United States, which were then sold in Mexico.

    John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, credited “strong partnership with the government of Mexico, with which we coordinated closely and for which, we are grateful,” in investigating that case.

    The cartels control increasingly large swathes of territory both in northern Mexico — their traditional base — and in southern states like Guerrero, Michoacan, Chiapas and Veracruz.

    Trump said every leader should do what’s best for their country. I agree.

          You’ve got to be kidding. Have you been living under a rock since 2019 or are you just that obtuse?

            Don’t bother with him. He’s a mod for a conservative community on Lemm.ee and he wanders out of his echo chamber from time to time to waste people’s time. If you provide an article, he’ll say that’s not what he was talking about, or it doesn’t count because a court didn’t convict him of it, or you’ll be spot on and he’ll still say “What are you even talking about” because it’s not about discussion, he wants to waste your time. He thinks billionaires are paying too much in taxes. Let him wallow in his sadness. He gets shit on by his own mod-mates in his own community where he can’t score a positive comment to save his life.

              Lmfao so your tactic is just to ask for sources? Funny that you don’t provide your own for what he said. Do that and we’re in business. Lead by example.

              Meanwhile, chew on US’s secrets being disclosed to unauthorized people. It’s been all over the news, I’m sure you’re aware. If not, keep licking those boots. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

                I didn’t ask for a source. Your opinion is fine. You made a claim then get all weird to back it up. I personally think Trump did a good job as president.

                If you think he did a bad job as president. Let’s hear it.
