Claudia Sheinbaum Addresses Potential U.S. Charges Against Mexican Politicians

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to U.S. Justice Department's potential charges against more Mexican politicians, emphasizing that any accusations must be backed by evidence. This statement followed U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche's indication of possible new indictments similar to those against Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha and others. Sheinbaum asserted that her administration will not shield anyone who violates the law but criticized the U.S. for not providing sufficient evidence against Rocha and others. She highlighted Mexico's cooperation in combating organized crime, citing the extradition of numerous suspects to the U.S., while calling for reciprocal actions from the U.S. regarding individuals linked to serious crimes in Mexico. The ongoing dialogue reflects rising tensions between the two nations over security issues.
