[]
teleSUR English
Donald Trump shared an opinion article criticizing Mexico’s government and its anti-crime policies, prompting President Claudia Sheinbaum to defend her administration’s security record, reject the allegations and renew calls for the United States to curb illegal arms trafficking into Mexico.
Mexican president rejects allegations after Trump reposts commentary attacking her government’s security policies.
Asked by reporters about Trump’s decision to share the article, Sheinbaum responded briefly during the launch of construction of the New Oaxaca Hospital in the state capital.
“Most of the weapons come from our northern neighbor, the United States, and cross our border illegally to spread violence and take lives in Mexico.”
Sheinbaum noted that Mexico has consistently urged the United States to strengthen efforts against firearms smuggling.
