Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador claimed that fentanyl is a U.S. problem on Thursday and rejected calls for U.S. military action against Mexican drug cartels.
"This is a problem of mass poisoning of the citizens of the United States and the cartels are directly responsible," Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, who introduced a bill earlier this year to authorize military force against the cartels, said in a message to López Obrador on Wednesday.
