Likewise, the head of state affirmed that the American has offered to send troops to fight crime and that she has always refused. Leavitt also condemned “political violence” in relation to the murder of Uruapan's mayor, Carlos Manzo, who lost his life on Saturday after a public event. “We condemn all political violence anywhere and in all its forms,” she declared. We have an understanding on security that we have been working on for many months with the Government of the United States and we agreed on it when the Secretary of State (Marco Rubio) was here. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, assured this Tuesday that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, is satisfied with the coordination offered by his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sheinbaum, and recalled that they continue to pressure Mexico to do “more” in the fight against the cartels. “Regarding Claudia Sheinbaum and the president's relationship with her, I think he (Trump) respects her a lot as president of Mexico and also appreciates the coordination she has provided to the Administration,” said Leavitt at a press conference, asked about the work of the Mexican head of state regarding the cartels. “I can speak on behalf of the president and say that we are constantly pressuring Mexico to do more to combat drug trafficking and drug cartels within its country, and we are collaborating with them in every way we can,” she added. The press secretary was questioned after NBC reported this Monday that Trump was planning military attacks on drug cartel facilities and leaders in Mexican territory as part of his campaign against narcotics trafficking in the Caribbean and the Pacific. This mission would involve drones to dismantle drug laboratories and attack cartel members and bosses, but it would not aim to undermine the President's government, according to government officials cited by the network. Sheinbaum, for her part, stated this Tuesday that this alleged plan “is not going to happen”.
