At UN, Trump Singles Out Mexico, Likening Cartels to ISIS
Sheinbaum said Mexico does not need outside judgment and questioned U.S. efforts against drug use and gun trafficking.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly that Mexico is the "epicenter" of cartel violence, declaring it "unacceptable" to share a 2,000-mile border with a country "controlled by enemy cartels."
- President Claudia Sheinbaum countered on Wednesday, stating she could just as easily argue it is "very difficult to live next to a country" with such high illegal drug use and gun production.
- Shifting focus to domestic policy, Sheinbaum announced a 750 billion peso investment in rail projects while confirming her attendance at the APEC Summit in China this November.
- International Drug Policy Consortium experts demanded an end to United States air strikes, citing at least 223 deaths at sea over the past year as violations of the fundamental right to life.
- Despite the heated rhetoric, Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico maintains a "good relationship" with the United States, noting both nations are "working in a coordinated way" on security challenges.
