Guns of Mexican cartels are from the United States: 74% come from Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas
A month ago, a report from the ATF confirmed that the firepower of the drug cartels is predominantly supplied by illicit trafficking from the U.S.
While this comes as no surprise, it has resurfaced this past week the context of the recent negociations in the Trump tarriff war on Mexico, when President Claudia Sheinbaum asked that the U.S. contain this illegal trafficking, in exchange for Mexico’s control of migration at the border.
