Sheinbaum calls US arms trafficker charge positive for Mexico
Claudia Sheinbaum says it's positive that the US charged an arms trafficker to Mexico for the first time, as she reviews strengthening Mexico's lawsuit against US gun makers.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has stated that it is "positive" that the United States has charged an arms trafficker targeting Mexico for the first time. This case, promoted from the Administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, highlights one of the most visible bilateral issues between the two countries: illegal arms trafficking. Sheinbaum noted that her government is reviewing how to strengthen Mexico's lawsuit against five U.S. gun manufacturers, a legal action aimed at holding these companies accountable for their role in the flow of weapons into Mexican territory. The U.S. charge marks a significant step in efforts to address this conflict, which has been a persistent source of tension in Mexico-U.S. relations, impacting security and bilateral cooperation.
