President Donald Trump appeared to hint at the possibility that the U.S. will conduct attacks against cartels in Mexico, telling Latin American leaders that the U.S. government "will do whatever is necessary to defend our national security."
"The epicenter of cartel violence is Mexico. The Mexican cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere," Trump said during the Shield of the Americas Summit, where regional heads of State friendly to the U.S. gathered to discuss security matters.
