NewzMexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded firmly on Thursday during her morning press conference to recent remarks by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio had stated the previous day that drug cartels in Mexico are out of control and that the Mexican government's fight against them is insufficient.
Rejecting Rubio's assertions, Sheinbaum urged the United States not to use Mexico as a political tool in its electoral campaigns. The exchange highlights ongoing diplomatic friction between the neighboring countries regarding security cooperation and cartel violence.
