Mexico's Sheinbaum to U.S. Ambassador: Hands Off My Country's Politics
Sheinbaum said ambassadors should focus on bilateral cooperation after U.S. charges against a Sinaloa governor fueled a dispute over sovereignty.
- On Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly urged United States Ambassador Ronald Johnson to focus strictly on the bilateral agenda and refrain from commenting on Mexico's domestic political affairs.
- Charging Sinaloa Gov Ruben Rocha Moya in late April, the Justice Department accused him of accepting Sinaloa Cartel bribes for protection, triggering the diplomatic crisis and prompting his leave of absence.
- During a Sunday event at Mexico City's Monument to the Revolution, Sheinbaum defended national sovereignty and criticized the United States case file as lacking sufficient evidence for the requested arrests.
- Johnson wrote that the "fight against cartels should unite us, not divide us," while Sheinbaum countered during a news conference, declaring that "Mexico's affairs belong to Mexicans."
- Washington was granted a 60-day period to submit evidence supporting the requested arrests, even as Sheinbaum restated Mexico's willingness to cooperate on shared security matters and criminal organizations.
