Chris Landberg, senior official for the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, called on Mexico to "invest more on its own security infrastructure and sustain its capabilities on its own."
Speaking before the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Landberg noted that Mexico is cooperating more than before on law enforcement issues, but noted it could do more. He focused on investing on its security forces and pushing China to keep fentanyl precursor chemicals from reaching the country and cartels.
