Quartermasters of the cartels - US gun manufacturers. Mexico suing American gun manufacturers as US fights fentanyl flow

As the United States battles the flow of Fentanyl into the nation from Mexico, the Mexican government is fighting to halt the surge of American guns coming into its country.

Following an agreement to pause tariffs against Mexico, President Donald Trump announced Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s promise to send 10,000 troops to the border to combat drug trafficking.

Now, Sheinbaum is demanding action to curb the flow of American firearms into her country, even so far as to sue American gun manufacturers.

A retired U.S. federal official told The Wall Street Journal many of the tens of millions of guns sold in the United States each year get smuggled into other countries with tighter gun control.
