President Biden on Friday said that Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been asking him to stop the U.S. from sending guns to Mexico — even as the U.S. is tackling a massive fentanyl crisis that has primarily come into the country from its southern neighbor.
“You know what I get when we’re talking about the fentanyl at the border and all that,” Biden said at a speech at the Safer Communities Summit in West Hartford, Connecticut.
“I speak to the president of Mexico: ’Will you stop sending guns to us?’” he said. “We are sending dangerous weapons, particularly assault weapons, to Mexico. To Mexico. They’re asking us, ‘Please stop it. Cut it off at the border.’”
