The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed in an interview his good relationship with the president of Mexico, whom he considers a very competent woman. He emphasized the importance of collaborating to help the country overcome the challenges it faces regarding security, especially in the fight against drug cartels.
Trump mentioned that the cartels, despite having accumulated great fortunes, have seen their revenues decrease due to the strengthening of security at the border between both countries. The American president also addressed the possibility of providing resources to migrants to leave U.S. territory, opening the door for a future legal reintegration for those who meet certain requirements.
On the other hand, it has been reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recorded a 97% decrease in "illegal crossings" at the border with Mexico as a result of the intensification of security measures. Furthermore, significant increases in the seizure of weapons and narcotics have been reported in joint operations between both nations.
In the military realm, collaboration between the armed forces of Mexico and the United States has been highlighted, emphasizing the exchange of experiences and mutual respect for sovereignty. Coordination efforts to strengthen security at the border have also been mentioned, through meetings between high-ranking military officials of both nations.
For her part, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, has sent a diplomatic note to the United States regarding the possible construction of a military base on the shared border. Sheinbaum clarified that the base would be located on U.S. territory, without implying a violation of sovereignty, and has expressed her interest in maintaining cooperation in security matters.
In a recent interview, Donald Trump mentioned that Mexico faces significant challenges due to the presence of drug cartels that control vast areas of the country. Despite this, he highlighted the collaboration with the current Mexican president and the importance of continuing to work together on security issues for the benefit of both nations.
