The Secretary of Foreign Relations, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, and his UU counterpart, Marco Rubio, agreed on Wednesday a meeting “soon” in Washington to address security, migration and trade issues, while reaffirming bilateral cooperation as “key to regional stability”
“They agreed that a working group will meet soon in Washington to follow up on security, migration and commerce issues,” said the Mexican Foreign Ministry in a statement after a phone call between Rubio and De la Fuente.
The Foreign Ministry added that “Mexico and the United States develop their bilateral relationship based on coordination and cooperation, under the unwavering principle of unrestricted respect for sovereignty.”
For its part, the United States Department of State indicated that Rubio reaffirmed to De la Source the importance of bilateral security cooperation as a “key pillar of regional stability.”
“The secretaries emphasized their mutual commitments to work together to dismantle transnational criminal organizations and terrorists that poison our communities, threaten Mexico’s sovereignty and murder our citizens,” said the US version.
The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, met in June with the American State Secretary, Christopher Landau, with whom she treated precisely the possibility of a visit from Rubio to Mexico, still to be completed.
At the moment, the highest level of a member of the Cabinet of President Donald Trump to the Mexican capital, has been that of the Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noem, who was also seen with Sheinbaum in the National Palace.
Sheinbaum has repeatedly criticized the criminalization of migrants in the United States, amid Trump’s aggressive migratory policies with numerous raids and deportations.
