Rubio says US and Mexico will strengthen security collaboration
The U.S. and Mexico formed a high-level group to enhance joint efforts against drug trafficking and organized crime while honoring each nation's sovereignty, officials said.
- On September 3, 2025, Marco Rubio, the United States' top diplomat, met with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico City to review and strengthen bilateral security cooperation between the two nations.
- The meeting followed President Trump's recent military strike on a Venezuelan vessel linked to drug trafficking, which heightened Mexican concerns about sovereignty and foreign intervention.
- Both governments committed to forming a senior committee responsible for overseeing collaborative efforts against drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and other cross-border crimes, while ensuring respect for each nation’s sovereignty.
- Rubio highlighted that the current cooperation between the two nations is unprecedented, praising the extradition of 55 cartel leaders as a clear example of this enhanced collaboration, describing it as the closest partnership they have experienced to date.
- Despite progress, tensions remain over sovereignty and trade, with Sheinbaum lowering expectations for a formal agreement and emphasizing cooperation must occur on equal terms without territorial violations.
