Mexico warns US involvement in anti-drug operation should not be repeated

Mexico has formally protested to the United States following the unauthorized presence of US officials during an anti-drug operation. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Mexico was unaware of the US involvement until after the incident. The issue came to light when a car crash on April 19 resulted in the deaths of two US officials and two Mexican officials who were participating in the operation. Mexico has conveyed through a diplomatic note that such unannounced US participation should not occur again.

This situation highlights ongoing tensions and communication challenges between Mexico and the US regarding cross-border security and anti-drug efforts.
