32% : Although drone strikes would undoubtedly produce the kind of kinetic optics that President Trump favors, experts have questioned their use against Mexican cartels -- highly atomized operations that often produce clandestine drugs in primitive laboratories that can be easily replaced.
29% : But Trump has also charged that Mexico is "essentially run by the cartels" -- an assertion rejected by Sheinbaum, who has said that Mexico would defend its sovereignty against "violations by land, sea or air.
