Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador told reporters on Nov. 6 that “war is not an option” and that his administration is relying on a new strategy against drug cartels, even after the brutal slayings of nine Americans, including six children.

“Independent of politics, of the media, there is a deeper effect. It hurts, because they are humans, in this case they were innocent. But we’re moving forward with the new strategy,” Obrador said.
