US EditionMexico's President Denies Reuters Report on US Push to Investigate Narco Politicians
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected a Reuters report claiming that the United States had urged Mexico to investigate politicians suspected of connections to organized crime.
- According to the Reuters report, a senior U.S. official has repeatedly urged Mexican authorities since February, during bilateral discussions, to intensify efforts against political corruption.
- The report said the U.S. targets current officials, including members of Sheinbaum's Morena party, and that extradition was requested if criminal charges exist in the U.S.
- Sheinbaum called the report "fake news" and stated, "There's nothing more false than that," while Reuters stood by its reporting citing multiple sources.
- The dispute underscores political risks amid U.S. sanctions on Mexican officials, such as the governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila, whose visa was revoked earlier this year.
