MEXICO CITY — The stunning U.S. indictment of 10 current and former Mexican officials for alleged links to the Sinaloa cartel has put Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in an extremely tight corner.

Most of the those accused, including Sinaloa Gov. Rubén Rocha Moya and a senator, Enrique Inzunza Cázarez are members of Sheinbaum’s ruling leftist Morena party.

A president with 70%-plus approval ratings now faces some wrenching decisions.
