Overview

• U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio landed at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport and was received by Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente, alongside ambassador Ronald Johnson and official Roberto Velasco.
• Rubio is set to meet President Claudia Sheinbaum at 10:00 a.m. for a one‑ to two‑hour private session at Palacio Nacional, followed by a joint press conference with De la Fuente late morning.
• The talks focus on dismantling cartels, stopping fentanyl trafficking, curbing irregular migration and advancing economic priorities outlined by the U.S. Department of State.
• Sheinbaum reiterated that Mexico will collaborate on information and intelligence but will not accept U.S. troops or any violation of its territory.
• Officials say discussion of a security understanding is on the table without certainty of a signing, and the visit follows a U.S. maritime operation off Venezuela that Caracas has publicly disputed; Rubio continues to Ecuador after Mexico.
