President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum PardoHe asked his American colleague Donald TrumpIN reciprocity For border He Weapon From this country, condemning that many weapons used in racket They come from the northern neighbor.
It was a few months ago an important capture made by the United States, but after that it really decreased. And we always demand this. This is one of the both sides, it cannot be only on one side, ”the president said during the morning press conference.
Shainbaum Pardo said that many of the weapons used by criminal groups in Mexico come from the United States, and even was a problem that played with Trump in one of the telephone conversations that they held.
“In one of the calls that I had with President Trump, I said:“ How can you explain that the installation of a launch that has an organized criminal group, illegally moving from your country to my country? Where are the reviews that you should make on the border? “
The President of Mexico recalled that her government reduced drug taking, especially synthetic and fentanil in relation to the United States, so we ask that the United States weapons are reduced in Mexico. “
He also emphasized an unsuccessful operation “Furious“Introduced in the government of Barack Obama (2009-2017) and Felipe Calderon (2006-2012), as an example of damage received due to lack of control.
“Allegedly, they were going to put the chip to find out where the weapon appeared. They just entered, they took the chip and gathered criminal groups. No one was authorized, ”he said.
He also excluded that his administration was thinking about introducing tariffs for weapons, which is legally included in Mexico “I do not think that this is a policy that reduces the input of weapons.”
In June last year, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected the lawsuit filed by the Mexican government against the American weapons producers for its alleged responsibility for the illegal movement of weapons to the Mexican territory.
Despite the decision, the temporary head of alcohol, tobacco office, firearms and explosives (ATF, English) of the United States, Daniel Driscall, said that the agency, which it is, would continue to work with partners to stop the flow of dangerous weapons in the direction of Mexican posters. “
