The Washington Post's revelation last week of alleged tensions between the Mexican Army and Navy, citing leaks of secret US military communications, is an abusive, overbearing intrusion. Mexico should not sit idly by as Washington conducts its bullying, interventionist plan and allows the DEA to make information public to the Mexican media that could undermine Obrador's administration.
Obrador's accusations are completely unjustified and it is no coincidence that they came just days after US prosecutors announced charges against 28 members of the Sinaloa cartel for smuggling massive amounts of fentanyl into the US. AMLO wants to destroy the working relations that took decades to build. However, if US-Mexican relations go south, it will mean more drugs reaching the US and more corruption and violence in Mexico.
