Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) said the U.S. is partly to blame for the ongoing cartel-related violence in Sinaloa, where dozens of people have been killed following the capture of top drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
Speaking at his daily press conference, AMLO was asked if the U.S. government was "jointly responsible" for the current situation. "Yes, of course... for having carried out this operation," he answered, again claiming the U.S. played a role in the taking of Zambada without Mexico's knowledge.
