In a cryptic social media post on Monday, US President Donald Trump said, “We’re Winning too much, it’s just not fair! President DJT.” His statement came hours after the Mexican military killed the most-wanted drug lord, El Mencho, and the US claimed it provided intelligence support in the Sunday’s drug raids.
Powerful drug lord Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera was killed in an operation by the Mexican military, leading to a wave of violence in various parts of the country. The 59-year-old was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
El Mencho was wounded in a clash with soldiers in the town of Tapalpa, in Jalisco state, and died while being flown to Mexico City, the army said in a statement. He had a $15 million US bounty on his head.
It was following this news that Trump hailed about “winning too much” in a TRUTH post on Monday (IST).
El Mencho’s killing: ‘US provided intellegence’
Karoline Leavitt, the Assistant to the President and the 36th White House Press Secretary, posted on
She said El Mencho was a top target for the Mexican and the United States government as one of the top traffickers of fentanyl into the US.
“Last year, President Trump rightfully designated the Jalisco New Generation Cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization — because that’s exactly what it is. In this operation, three additional cartel members were killed, three were wounded, and two were arrested,” she said.
“President Trump has been very clear — the United States will ensure narcoterrorists sending deadly drugs to our homeland are forced to face the wrath of justice they have long deserved,” she added.
“The Trump Administration also commends and thanks the Mexican military for their cooperation and successful execution of this operation,” Leavitt said.
