Reacts to note from The day
In his morning conference, the president asked the information published by The dayconfirming that 80 percent of those arrested for drug trafficking in US prisons are citizens of that country.
We do our part in Mexico, but the United States has to do its share in its territory
SHEINBAUM said, by stressing that, while in Mexican territory they have dismantled in what goes from their government more than a thousand methamphetamine laboratories and operating operations on the northern border, on the other hand someone distributes the drug, sells it and performs money laundering operations, which must be investigated and attended by the US government.
We have always questioned how they are distributed in the United States
The narcotics, the chief of the Executive recalled, who said that while in Mexico those who produce drugs are pursued, Once they pass from the other side of the border, because there someone distributes them, there they sell them, there is money laundering. Then they also correspond to what happens in their territory, in their country.
He recalled that two agents from the United States Customs and Border Protection agents were recently arrested for allowing drugs. We collaborate and coordinate, but each country must address its responsibility to reduce violence, consumption and crimes
