Did Trump administration give Mexico intel for El Mencho killing? Karoline Leavitt responds

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently confirmed that the Trump administration prioritized the apprehension of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, commonly known as El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). This cartel is notorious for its significant role in the trafficking of fentanyl into the United States, contributing to the ongoing opioid crisis. Leavitt's comments highlight the administration's focus on combating drug trafficking and addressing the public health emergency caused by fentanyl. The CJNG has been classified as one of the most dangerous drug cartels in Mexico, and El Mencho himself has been a key target for U.S. law enforcement agencies. The discussion around potential intelligence sharing between the U.S. and Mexico regarding El Mencho's operations raises questions about international cooperation in fighting drug-related crime. As drug-related violence continues to plague Mexico, the U.S. government remains committed to working with Mexican authorities to dismantle powerful cartels and curb the influx of illegal drugs into American communities.
