Former United States Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar has publicly urged both nations to move past the diplomatic tensions surrounding the detention of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. Salazar characterized the arrest of the high-profile cartel leader as a significant victory in the ongoing effort to combat organized crime.
The statement comes as the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and Mexico remains strained by the circumstances of the arrest. By shifting the focus toward broader security cooperation, Salazar aims to redirect the diplomatic agenda toward shared regional safety objectives.
