Mexico Denies DEA Drug-Fighting Agreement | JQJO

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum denied the existence of an agreement with the DEA regarding "Project Portero," a new initiative to combat drug cartels. Sheinbaum acknowledged a Texas workshop attended by Mexican police but stated there's no formal agreement with the DEA. The DEA's announcement, mentioning the workshop as part of a larger collaboration, contradicted Sheinbaum's statement. While Mexico is working on a broader security agreement with the U.S., Sheinbaum stressed the importance of sovereignty and proper coordination, criticizing the DEA's unilateral announcement.
