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.
