Mexico: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has urged the US government and its security agencies not to take unilateral action on Mexican territory, saying such actions are seen as “interference” and could fuel violence.
During her daily press conference, Sheinbaum said that unilateral interventions, such as the extradition of Mexican drug lord Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada to the United States in July 2024, have caused internal divisions within the Sinaloa Cartel and increased violence in Mexico.
She stressed the importance of coordinating efforts, respecting the sovereignty of both countries and avoiding agreements with criminal groups.
Sheinbaum said, “It’s better to coordinate, it’s better to cooperate, because the results are always better when we work together than when we act unilaterally,” rejecting any pact with criminal groups to fight others.
