Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday (27) that the participation of American agents in an anti-drug operation in Chihuahua should not be repeated. The Mexican government said it was not informed of the Americans' presence, who according to Reuters were CIA agents. Two American officials and two Mexicans died in a car accident on April 19 during the operation.
The incident has reignited tensions between Mexico and the United States over security cooperation, as Sheinbaum accepts information sharing but rejects the participation of American agents in operations on Mexican territory. Donald Trump, in turn, advocates for greater use of American military force in combating Mexican cartels and threatens that Washington could act alone if it considers that Mexico is not doing enough.
