Trump, Mexican president label conversation ‘productive’

The call focused on cooperation in trade and border security, with Mexico extraditing 99 cartel members to the U.S. to ease tensions, leaders said.

  • On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke by phone about drug trafficking, the border and trade, describing the call as productive and cordial.
  • Tensions stem from Trump's public threats and concerns about U.S. activity on Mexican soil, while Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexican President, said operations are always carried out by Mexican forces and rejected unilateral intervention.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel said a `high-risk` joint operation captured Ryan Wedding, contradicting Mexican officials claiming he turned himself in last week, and his lawyer denies the account.
  • Trump said the call `went extremely well for both Countries` and offered follow-up talks, reflecting an evolving relationship with Mexico under his second term and praising Sheinbaum as a `wonderful and highly intelligent Leader`.
  • Mexico's deep economic integration with the United States means cooperation remains critical amid legal questions from a covert FBI operation and anxieties after the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela.
