Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that within the framework of the security agreement with the US, it is necessary to summon the ambassador and discuss the situation. She also instructed the relevant agency to provide more reports on the matter. Yesterday, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that following an order from President Donald Trump, three attacks were carried out on Monday in the Pacific Ocean against suspicious vessels, resulting in 14 deaths and one survivor. The US official declared that the four destroyed vessels were known to intelligence services and were traveling maritime routes associated with drug trafficking. The US intensified its attacks on vessels suspected of transporting drugs in international waters this week, which involved Mexican authorities who participated in a coordinated rescue operation. Following these actions, President Claudia Sheinbaum reported at her press conference on Tuesday that the Secretary of the Navy gave his report on the attack and the rescue carried out by the Mexican armed forces 'for humanitarian reasons,' although without confirming if there is a survivor. 'I made the proposal to the Secretary of the Navy and the Foreign Minister that this be discussed at a table, we do not agree with these attacks,' she said.
