00:00Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to statements made by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio
00:05in which he insisted that drug cartels should be considered terrorists.
00:10The head of state pointed out that declaring drug trafficking organizations as terrorist
00:15groups implies many things and she said that she would only consider the good side of Rubio's
00:21statements.
00:22In this sense, Sheinbaum welcomed the intentions that, according to Politician, the U.S. State
00:29Department has to coordinate alliances with Mexico for the benefit of both nations on
00:34security issues.
00:36In this context, Sheinbaum pointed out that these same proposals are the ones that the
00:41Mexican government has been putting forward and described them as good.
00:50I take Marco Rubio's word for it.
00:53In this interview he gave during his ratification in the Senate, he says two very important
00:57things, which is what we have been saying.
01:08One is that the Department of State favors coordination with the Mexican government and
01:12that is what we have been talking about, and to address the problems of migration, the
01:16problems of security, the drug trafficking.
01:29The best thing to do is to coordinate with the Mexican government, as well as to coordinate
01:33at the highest level, and respecting our sovereignty we can collaborate and coordinate to reduce
01:38the criminal incidents in Mexico.
01:48To avoid the trafficking of weapons from the United States to Mexico, and at the same time
01:53we can contribute in everything necessary to reduce the fentanyl crisis they are facing
01:57in the United States.
