 SEARCY, Ark. (AP) - Former Mexican President Vicente Fox said Thursday the violence in northern Mexico shows the government's campaign against drug trafficking in his nation is working, but cautioned the United States must play a role in the fight.
Fox, who was visiting Arkansas to give an address at Harding University and to visit the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, said he applauded successor Felipe Calderon's use of army troops and federal police in drug-ravaged regions and extradition of cartel leaders to the United States.
However, he said the United States must do its part to cut back on purchases of illegal drugs, whose profits flow back to Mexican drug gangs.
