“Following instructions from President Claudia Sheinbaum (@Claudiashein), Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente spoke with Secretary of State (@StateDept) Marco Rubio today,” the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs informed on its X profile last night.
This, the Secretariat added, aimed “to follow up on the Border Security and Law Enforcement Cooperation Program, under the principles of unrestricted respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, shared responsibility, mutual trust, and collaboration without subordination.”
Sheinbaum affirmed that Mexico would strengthen communication with the United States and De la Fuente would contact Rubio, following the statements made by US President Donald Trump that he would attack drug cartels on the ground.
Responding to a question about the Republican’s comments, the head of the Executive also mentioned the possibility of speaking with Trump “to strengthen coordination within the framework we have already repeatedly explained.”
The US magnate’s statements came almost a week after Washington’s aggression against Venezuela in an operation during which President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were kidnapped and taken to US soil to face trial on alleged narcoterrorism charges.
