Regarding possible obstacles in the Mexican system, Rubio mentioned that, despite their existence, there has been a willingness on the part of Mexican authorities to face these problems. He stated that, while progress has been made thanks to the pressure exerted by the Trump administration, much remains to be done in this bilateral collaboration.
Rubio also acknowledged the need for the United States to implement measures to combat the trafficking of arms into Mexico, which end up in the hands of criminal groups. He highlighted the importance of controlling this flow of weapons to curb the devastating impact these organized crime groups have in both countries.
In summary, Rubio emphasized the importance of cooperation between the United States and Mexico to confront the threat posed by cartels and illegal migration. He recognized the efforts made by both parties, but pointed out that there is still work to be done to effectively address these cross-border challenges.
