Trump demands Mexico reclaim control as cartel 'epicenter'

U.S. President Donald Trump accused Mexico on Tuesday of being the "epicenter" of drug trafficking and demanded the Mexican government under Claudia Sheinbaum "regain control" of its territory. Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Trump called it "unacceptable" that the U.S. shares a 2,000-mile border with territory he said is controlled by cartels, urging Mexico to act against "enemies of humanity." He claimed a "very good relationship" with Mexico and expressed confidence security would come. Trump has repeatedly pressed Mexico to allow U.S. operations against drug cartels on Mexican soil, a move Sheinbaum opposes as a violation of national sovereignty.
