Mexico says US army weapons being smuggled across border

On Monday, Mexico announced the detection of US military weapons entering the country, attributing the inflow to firearms trafficking from its northern neighbor, which it blames for contributing to drug cartel-related violence.

The Mexican defense ministry has notified Washington about the influx of arms purportedly designated “for the exclusive use of the US army,” revealed Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena during a press conference.

Urging an immediate investigation, Barcena provided no further details.

The issue of arms smuggling was a focal point during discussions between the two nations in Washington on Friday, as part of a visit by Barcena and other high-ranking Mexican officials.

Mexico has consistently held the United States and its lenient gun laws responsible for the weaponry reaching its cartels, often funded through drug sales to US consumers, Barron’s reported.
