The Spin

Narrative A

Mexican authorities can’t handle their own business adequately, and things only got done when the US started saber rattling. It’s obvious that Republicans’ calls for US military intervention in Mexico scared the cartel into turning over these suspects. The cartels will now think twice before interfering with the US on either side of the border.

Newsweek

Narrative B

As the letter from the cartel explains, these crimes were carried out by rogue actors. US politicians should not be using the Mexican government as fodder for its propaganda, and even hinting at military action that would violate Mexico’s sovereignty is unacceptable. It will be difficult for Mexico to continue to work with the US on border policy if this is the way the US is going to think.
