President Donald Trump said that "Mexico is largely run by the cartels," emphasizing however that his administration is willing to provide assistance to the government if requested.
"I have a very good relationship with Mexico, but I think Mexico is largely run by the cartels, and that's a sad thing to say. If they wanted help with that, we would give it to them," Trump stated during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence, as El Pais reports. He added that: "Mexico for years, but now especially, is run by the cartels."
