McCaul: Mexico's President Has 'Enabled the Cartels' and It's in His Interest to Benefit from Cartel Activity

On Monday's broadcast of Newsmax TV's "The Record," House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) stated that Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has "enabled the cartels to do their dirty business, basically with a laissez-faire approach, where you play well in your sandbox together, bring the GDP back home to Mexico" and that it is in Obrador's interest to not have violence, but to benefit economically from the activities of drug cartels through GDP flow to Mexico.
