Former Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) interim head Derek Maltz said the reported presence of Colombian veterans in the ranks of Mexican cartels strengthens the Trump administration's argument to carry out military strikes inside its neighbor.
Speaking to the LA Times, Maltz said he has seen "significant progress" from Mexico when it comes to fighting cartels, but this development, coupled with the fact that veterans are helping with the making of explosive devices, could lead to the mentioned outcome.
