In Sinaloa in northwestern Mexico, some residents say drug-fueled violence has gotten so bad that they would welcome U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for the U.S. military to go after cartels.
Trump has said that he would consider some form of U.S. military action against the cartels and has called for the State Department to label them as "foreign terrorist organizations."

00:00In Sinaloa, in northwestern Mexico, some residents say drug-fueled violence has gotten so bad
00:08that they would welcome U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for the U.S. military to
00:13go after cartels.
00:15Trump has said that he would consider some form of U.S. military action against the cartels.
00:21Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has said Mexico is in close communication with the
00:25United States and that she does not think the Trump administration would take military
00:29action, which would be seen as a breach of sovereignty by many Mexicans.
00:34But in Sinaloa, where an intra-cartel war has left hundreds dead in recent months, some
00:40residents are so fed up with the violence that they say they are open to Trump's idea.
00:45The Mexican government has sent thousands of troops to Sinaloa in efforts to pacify
00:49the violence.
00:50High-profile arrests and large drug seizures have followed, but confronting the heavily
00:55armed cartels brings the risk of inflaming violence, as has happened in the past.
