President Claudia Sheinbaum requests that Mexico not be used as a political argument during United States elections

President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Mexico should not be used as a political argument during the upcoming United States elections. She noted that the United States does not want Mexico to interfere in its own elections, as Mexico has its own internal issues to address. Sheinbaum responded to comments made by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding the perceived inadequacy of the fight against organized crime in Mexico. While Rubio described the cartels as the head of the snake and a major challenge, Sheinbaum argued that Mexican authorities have shown results in reducing homicides and arrests. She emphasized that the Mexico-United States collaboration remains respectful of Mexican sovereignty. Sheinbaum also highlighted that the United States should focus on issues that receive less attention, such as drug consumption. She criticized the disparity in positions held by US politicians, noting that they have shifted from recognizing the results achieved through collaboration with the United States to discrediting the policies implemented by the Mexican government.
