President Donald Trump has offered Mexico help in stopping the drug cartel violence that has killed a quarter million people over the past two decades.
The United States has assisted Mexico on the war on drugs for years, providing training, intelligence and equipment. Now, President Trump has offered to " wage WAR on the drug cartels," which the Mexican president declined.
This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth. We merely await a call from your great new president!
