Overview

• Secretary of State Marco Rubio landed Tuesday at Felipe Ángeles International Airport and meets Wednesday with President Claudia Sheinbaum and her security cabinet.
• The State Department says the agenda targets illegal migration, cartel and fentanyl networks, trade and tariff tensions, and countering Chinese influence in the region.
• Sheinbaum reiterates that Mexico will not accept foreign actions that infringe on sovereignty and frames any outcome as an information‑ and intelligence‑sharing memorandum.
• Talks have referenced a possible joint investigative group on fentanyl precursors and arms trafficking, though U.S. officials have downplayed a formal pact.
• Mexico has tightened enforcement at the northern border and extradited cartel suspects, and both sides plan a joint press briefing after Wednesday’s meeting before Rubio continues to Ecuador.
