Mexican Pres. Andrés Manuel López Obrador says he received a phone call from Pres. Trump to express 'solidarity' over the events this week in the northern Mexican city of Culiacan, where soldiers faced off with cartel henchmen.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Saturday he received a phone call from U.S. President Donald Trump to express"solidarity" over the events this week in the northern Mexican city of Culiacan, where the government backed off from an attempt to arrest a drug suspect in the face of extraordinary cartel violence.
The gunfight in the city of roughly 800,000 residents was triggered Thursday by an attempt to arrest Ovidio Guzmán, son of convicted drug lord Joaquin"El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, in response to a U.S. request for extradition. The government said it decided to drop the operation Thursday to avoid further loss of life. Critics say it ceded territory to a cartel.
