Mexican President rejects U.S. claims on strength of drug cartel
On Friday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador refuted estimates made by the top U.S. counter-narcotics official on the strength of Mexican drug cartels, stating that the United States lacked “reliable information.”
The comments come in response to testimony from U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Chief Anne Milgram on Mexican cartels as part of a hearing in the U.S. Congress.
Milgram testified that the DEA estimated that the powerful Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) have more than 45,000 members, associates, facilitators and brokers in some 100 countries.
She added Sinaloa and CJNG have a presence in 21 and 19 of Mexico’s 31 states respectively and that the DEA is mapping how both have spread around the world.
“We don’t have that information. I don’t know where the woman from the DEA got it,” the president said in response to a question from a journalist.
