The United States and Mexico are working on a joint plan to secure the border, in which each country commits to combatting arms trafficking, fentanyl, and mass migration from Mexico. Senator Marco Rubio explained that they will focus on addressing these issues from each side of the border, working together to stop drug cartels.
In a phone call between Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, and Mexico's Chancellor, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, joint actions were discussed to secure the border, dismantle the cartels, and stop the trafficking of fentanyl and weapons. Rubio praised Mexico's efforts to curb illegal migration and highlighted the deployment of the National Guard at the U.S. border, as well as the reception of deported migrant flights.
Both diplomats expressed the importance of maintaining a respectful dialogue, respecting national sovereignties, and committed to working together for the benefit of both peoples. This conversation adds to others they have held about border security and fentanyl trafficking.
Marco Rubio confirmed that the U.S. and Mexico are collaborating on a plan to combat arms and drug trafficking at the border, as these issues affect both nations. He emphasized that Mexico is taking steps to secure the border and requested assistance to prevent arms from reaching drug cartels. Cooperation between the two countries appears to be progressing positively.
