“The two leaders stressed the importance of maintaining cooperation on migration, security and address the scourge of transnational criminal violence and economic issues, taking advantage of the strong bilateral partnership between the United States and Mexico,” the White House reported.
The relationship between Mexico and the United States has been marked by tension in recent weeks due to issues such as Judicial Reform, the violence in Sinaloa derived from the arrest of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada” and by the criticism of Ambassador Ken Salazar towards the security strategy implemented in the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
