The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) said it was false that the United States government has requested that of Mexico to investigate, process or extradite officials allegedly linked to organized crime, as reported by the Reuters agency on Wednesday.
The Foreign Ministry assured that both Mexico and the United States have held transparent conversations on various issues, including security, and denied that in these meetings requests have been raised to act judicially against Mexican politicians.
“It is absolutely false that in the meetings sustained with the Secretary (Marco) blond or with his team of the State Department, requests have been transmitted to investigate, pursue or extradite an official or official of Mexico,” said the agency.
According to the Secretariat, dialogue with the United States has been guided by the principles of sovereignty, coordination without subordination and respect for human rights.
Reuters published earlier than the Donald Trump government presses that of Mexico to investigate and process politicians with alleged links with organized crime, and to extradite them to the United States if there are criminal charges there, according to sources familiar with the matter.

In discussions, US officials have asked for actions against Morena politicians, even threatening to impose more tariffs if Mexico does not take measures, two of the sources said.
Applications, raised at least three times by the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and his team in bilateral meetings and conversations with Mexican officials, seek to press the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum to investigate officials and set an unprecedented offensive against narcocorruption.
Reurtur reported that neither Presidency, the SRE, the Attorney General’s Office or the Ministry of Security responded to requests for comments on the alleged conversations.
The White House, the State Department and the United States National Security Department did not respond to requests for comments from Reuters.
