Trump wants a war on cartels. Mexico's president says he should start by combatting guns and addiction

President Trump has deployed military might to fight drug cartels, blowing up dozens of alleged smugglers at sea and helping Ecuador bomb an apparent criminal training camps.

In recent days he announced the formation of a “brand-new military coalition” of mostly right-wing governments from across the Americas that, he said, are united in “a commitment to using lethal military force to destroy the sinister cartels and terrorist networks."

“We need your help," he told regional leaders gathered Saturday at his golf club outside Miami. "Just tell us where they are.”

On Monday, Mexico's leader suggested Washington should focus on other steps: Containing the voracious American appetite for illicit drugs and combating illegal arms trafficking.
