WASHINGTON — The White House drug czar is accusing lawmakers of “sabotaging” a sweeping aid package that would help Mexico fight drug traffic and violence before it crosses the U.S. border.
Some in Congress question giving Mexico $500 million worth of equipment and training to curb drug cartels without also ensuring its law enforcement officials haven’t committed human-rights, corruption or other criminal violations.
On Tuesday, drug czar John Walters questioned the motive of lawmakers who would insist on the conditions that Mexico maintains would scuttle the whole package.
