ADVERTISEMENT Clinton left Washington for Mexico Wednesday on a two-day swing that includes stops in Mexico City and Monterrey. Her visit will be followed in a week by US Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. US President Barack Obama is to travel to a summit with President Felipe Calderon on April 16-17 after having met him eight days before taking office in January. On the eve of Clinton's trip, Obama unveiled a strategy that appears to respond to key Mexican demands for bolder action within the United States, and vowed to do more if needed. "We are going to continue to monitor the situation. And if the steps that we have taken do not get the job done, then we will do more," Obama told a press conference in Washington. White House officials Tuesday unveiled multi-agency plans to cut domestic drug consumption as well as stop cash and weapons flows from the United States to the drug cartels -- all steps Calderon has sought after years of US policy that largely left a worsening situation up to Mexico City to solve. "It's very significant. We are sending millions of dollars in additional equipment to provide more effective surveillance. We are providing hundreds of additional personnel that can help control the border, deal with customs issues," Obama said. Analysts say the strategy represents a dramatic break from the administration of George W. Bush, which offered to help Mexico fight the scourge even though it largely viewed it as a Mexican problem. And the new administration is scrambling to coordinate strategy after the growing violence in Mexico -- with 1,000 dead so far this year -- started to spill across the border and threaten to become a US national security problem. "We need to do more to make sure that illegal guns and cash aren't flowing back to these cartels. That's part of what is financing their operations. That's part of what is arming them," the US president said. "That's what makes them so dangerous and this is something that we take very seriously and we're going to continue to work on diligently in the months to come." A Mexican drug wars analyst with contacts in the Obama administration said: "I think this issue has caught up with them quicker than they expected. "I think they knew Mexico was important, but I don't think they were prepared to be as intensely engaged right now on this issue," the analyst told AFP on the condition of anonymity. "They're not quite sure how to get all the moving parts of the government working together," the analyst said, adding efforts had to be coordinated among the departments of State, Homeland Security, Justice and Defense. Asked about Clinton's role, State Department spokesman Robert Wood said she would be "working closely with her counterparts in the government to do what we can to make sure that, first and foremost, we can secure our borders and, secondly, that we can help Mexico as it deals with this very serious drug problem." Members of the Obama administration intend to share the burden with Mexico, according to Andrew Selee, director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center. "They see this as an actual shared responsibility, that we have to actually do something about consumption, the money and the guns on our side of the border," Selee told AFP. "I think that is a change in focus actually." A senior State Department official spoke of an "evolution" toward a joint effort. "What we're seeing now is a concerted effort to make that shared responsibility real," the official told reporters on the condition of anonymity.
