Sheinbaum Calls Trump Meeting Cordial, Rules Out New Mass Extraditions for Now

Mexico stresses sovereignty, prioritizing legal procedure in any transfers.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum described her face-to-face with U.S. President Donald Trump as brief, protocolary, and without specific agreements.
  • She said her government does not currently plan another large-scale handover of drug leaders to the United States.
  • She explained that detainees without a Mexican arrest warrant are typically deported, while those with pending cases follow the full extradition process.
  • The Wall Street Journal previously reported discussions about a possible third transfer of Mexican drug chiefs to U.S. custody, a claim not confirmed by Mexico.
  • Mexican authorities have already sent about 55 high-profile narcotraffickers to the United States this year, and Sheinbaum emphasized ongoing protection of the Mexican community living there.
