DescriptionAs President Barack Obama prepares to travel to Mexico this week, the Mexican ambassador to the U.S. said weapons and money flowing from the U.S. into Mexico is helping fuel the violent drug trade there.

"The key issue right now is how can the United States help to shut down those guns and shut down that bulk cash that is providing the drug syndicates in Mexico with the wherewithal to corrupt, to bribe, to kill,'' said Mexican Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
