Leibowitz: Steel Plays Role in US, Mexico Trade Issues
Written by Lewis Leibowitz
Mexico continues to have its problems with US relations. On March 3, former Attorney General William Barr penned a column in the Wall Street Journal about failures by Mexico to stem the drug cartels. Illegal drugs are flowing into the US over the apparently porous border. Barr recommends that the US take action reminiscent of General John J. Pershing in 1916, when the US Army took out after Poncho Villa. We didn’t capture Villa, but we did poison US-Mexico relations for about 60 years.
