No US intervention – Mexican president

MEXICO CITY: Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador yesterday rejected “interventionism” after US President Donald Trump said he was working to designate the Latin American country’s drug cartels as terrorist organisations.

Trump said he’d been working for 90 days on the process.

Lopez Obrador said Mexico would take up the issue today and that he had asked his foreign minister to lead talks.

“Co-operation, yes, intervention, no,” he told reporters.
