“There is a lot of disintegration of families, there is a lot of individualism, there is a lack of love, of brotherhood, of hugs and embraces,” López Obrador said, according to the Associated Press. “That is why they (U.S. officials) should be dedicating funds to address the causes.”

The Mexican president has denied Fentanyl is manufactured in Mexico. He stated that Mexicans don’t use the drug. According According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, (DEA), Mexican transnational criminal organisations are “increasingly producing wholesale quantities of illicit fentanyl pills and smuggling them into the United States.” According to the DEA Mexico’s two largest cartels are the Sinaloa, and the New Generation Jalisco. “are likely the primary trafficking groups responsible for smuggling fentanyl into the United States from Mexico.”

López Obrador’s deflection and criticism of the U.S. comes after he threatened to meddle in American elections after Republican politicians called for using the U.S. military to go after Mexico’s powerful drug cartels. The controversy erupted following the arrest of four Americans. kidnapped Two of the two victims were killed by a Mexican cartel last week. 

“Starting today, we are going to initiate an information campaign (aimed at) Mexicans who live and work in the United States, and all Hispanics, to inform them about what we are doing in Mexico and how this initiative from the Republicans, besides being irresponsible, is an offense against the people on Mexico,” López Obrador said at a press conference last week. 

“A lack of respect for our independence, for our sovereignty,” He went on. “And if they do not change their attitude and think that they are going to use Mexico for their propagandist, electioneering, and (dirty) political purposes, we are going to call for them not to vote for that party, (due to its being) interventionist, inhumane, hypocritical, and corrupt.”
