At least nine members of a Mormon family, all U.S. citizens, were killed in northern Mexico in an apparent attack by drug cartels, prompting President Donald Trump to say America would help wipe traffickers “off the face of the earth.”
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador declined the offer Trump made on Twitter, where Trump suggested an army may be needed to fight the gangs. Lopez Obrador later spoke with Trump by phone to pledge justice would be done for the families, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said.
