Trump defends strike on alleged cartel boat in Caribbean
Mexico City – On Wednesday, US and Mexican officials agreed to support the cooperation with a number of common security concerns, including drug trafficking, illegal migration and arms traffic, as they defended the controversial decision of Foreign Minister Marco Rubio’s President Trump to order an attack on a smuggling boat in the Caribbean Sea.
The best US diplomat held its first meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum the day after the dramatic Pentagon strike. It has made a potential intent of things that many of the Mexicans fear – a unilateral US military attack on the suspected cartel goals in Mexico.
On Tuesday, Trump, who released what he described as the video of the attack on a ship that left Venezuela on Tuesday, killed the “narcoterist” -born “narcoterist” -born “Narcoterist ından.
In Mexico, Rubio greeted the strike and said that traditional interaction efforts could not stop drug flow through the Caribbean. “What’s going to stop them when you fly them up,” he said to journalists at Mexico City. You get rid of them.
Rubio said that such strikes can continue and probably will continue.

While Trump said that the attack on Tuesday took place in international waters, he did not exclude the strikes in Mexico, where his administration had set half dozen cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. He forced the army to use against drug smugglers. Trump reportedly gave a secret order that directed Pentagon to hit Latin American cartels.
According to the Trump administration, the deployment of ongoing warships in the Southern Caribbean aims to deterd the drug trade from Venezuela-without overthrowing the government of the President Nicolás Maduro. US prosecutors accused Maduro for an accusation, accusation of a propaganda by the Venezuela leader of a charges.
However, the sea accumulation in the Caribbean increased concerns of cocaine, Fentanyl and other illegal drugs entering the United States in Mexico.
Many observers in Mexico see the identification of cartels as terrorist groups opposed by the Mexican government as a possible justification for attacking cartels in Mexican territory.
Julio Hernández López, a columnist in the La Jornada newspaper of Mexico, shows the “attack in the Caribbean,” the type of attack that can be directed to the Mexican people and vehicles. “
Rubio’s first trip to Mexico as the Minister of Foreign Affairs is expected to have long been expected to walk in a thin line in Mexico. The first female president of Mexico, the leftist for life, Trump using drugs, tariffs and other contentious issues, while at the same time guaranteed the nationalist base of the US demands of the US demands.
Sheinbaum rejected the US military aid directly to help Trump’s Mexican war cartels. According to Trump, the decision was based on fear of organized crime. Trump claimed that the organized crime covered the Mexican government on a rejected charges of Sheinbaum.
On Wednesday, when Trump’s claim that he was afraid of cartels, Sheinbaum replied characteristically without conflict.
“This is not true … But we’re maintaining good relationships,” sheinbaum replied. “We respect the relationship between Mexico-United States and President Trump.”
A common US-Mexican statement on bilateral cooperation is mutlu Mutual trust in addition to respecting sovereignty and regional integrity ”. However, Mexican commentators said there is no guarantee that Trump administration will not unilaterally hit the cartel targets in Mexico.
“Working together to dismantle the transnational organized crime through developed cooperation,” he said.
Despite the increasing tensions in the US-Mexico relations, Rubio praises Mexican law enforcement efforts. Mexico has decided to surrender to dozens of prison defendants in the United States.
“This is not an easy thing, Rub said Rubio, who appeared at a joint press conference with Mexican counterpart Juan Ramón de la Fuente.
Weapons traffic-Drubio, including a special concern for Mexico, including the subject-saldırı weapons, grenade launchers, mines and other military class weapons, said US officials are determined to “stop”. The organized crime pointed out the danger of the drones in the hands of the crime, “threatening states threaten security forces”.
Both diplomats have praised bilateral efforts that help reduce illegal transitions throughout the US-Mexico border for decades. Mexico placed thousands of soldiers on the border with the United States. They are responsible for reducing illegal migration, drug smuggling and other crimes.
However, Rubio gave Mexico very little hope on another important issue: tariffs. In July, Mexico won a 90 -day Reprieve in a Trump management plan to apply 30% tariff to Mexican imports. Rubio hoped that ongoing negotiations between Mexico and the United States could lead to a successful trade agreement.
