The Secretary of State of the Donald Trump administration, Marco Rubio, highlighted in a recent interview the importance of collaboration between Mexico and the United States in the fight against drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Rubio praised the significant advances made by the current administration in Mexico, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, on these two critical issues that affect the security of both countries.
Rubio pointed out that the amount of drugs entering the United States from Mexico is a massive threat that is causing a high number of monthly deaths on U.S. soil. He expressed the willingness of the United States to help control this situation and emphasized that the fight against drug trafficking and illegal immigration must be a continuous effort.
In an interview conducted in Spanish with Fox News, Rubio underscored that the Mexican government has implemented strong and unprecedented measures to combat cartels and illegal immigration. He acknowledged the level of cooperation between both nations, although he emphasized that there is still much to be done on these challenging issues.
One of the highlighted concerns mentioned by Rubio was the trafficking of arms from the United States that are used by cartels in Mexico. This situation, according to the Secretary of State, contributes to the violence affecting both nations, resulting in the loss of lives of both Mexican and American citizens.
With these statements, Rubio urged to continue working together to address the problems of drug trafficking and illegal immigration that negatively impact the security and stability of Mexico and the United States. He highlighted the importance of continuing to strengthen bilateral cooperation on these crucial issues for both nations.
