President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador warned Friday that his government would launch a campaign against the US Republican party in the next election after their lawmakers pushed for American military action on Mexican territory to combat drug cartels.
After members of a cartel kidnaped four US nationals and killed two of them in Matamoros, Tamaulipas in northern Mexico, Republican lawmakers such as Sen. Lindsey Graham have pledged to push a bill that would enable the US military to deploy troops on Mexican territory and label cartels as terror organizations.
Graham promised to unleash American "fury and might" to destroy narco-drug labs and has criticized the Lopez Obrador administration for allowing criminal organizations to grow unchallenged.
