Rechazamos categóricamente la calumnia que hace la Casa Blanca al Gobierno de México de tener alianzas con organizaciones criminales, así como cualquier intención injerencista en nuestro territorio.

Si en algún lugar existe tal alianza es en las armerías de los Estados Unidos…

Therefore, if the United States wants to combat criminal groups that traffic drugs and generate violence, we must work together in an integrated manner, but always under the principles of shared responsibility, mutual trust, collaboration, and, above all, respect for sovereignty, which is not negotiable. Coordination, yes; subordination, no,” she wrote further.
