Overview

  • Following talks in Mexico City, both governments announced a named Program of Cooperation and a standing high‑level implementation group that will meet regularly to track security commitments.
  • The agenda targets cartel dismantlement, fentanyl and precursor investigations, tighter border security, elimination of clandestine tunnels, disruption of illicit finance, and stronger inspections, investigations and prosecutions on drugs and arms.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum affirmed cooperation will proceed without foreign troop deployments and within each country’s legal framework, emphasizing collaboration without subordinación.
  • U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended a recent strike in international Caribbean waters that destroyed a suspected narcotrafficking boat and left 11 dead, a claim Venezuela disputes as a possible fabrication.
  • Rubio said curbing U.S.‑sourced firearms into Mexico is a priority for the new coordination group, and analysts expect Mexico to intensify extraditions and joint operations in the coming months.
