Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has pointed fingers at the United States for the recent surge in violence in the state of Sinaloa. The region has witnessed a spate of killings, with bodies found on public streets and highways, leaving dozens dead in the past two weeks.
During a press conference, López Obrador suggested that the US played a role in escalating tensions between factions of the Sinaloa drug cartel. This accusation comes after the arrest of Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, son of notorious drug lord “El Chapo” Guzmán, in the US.
