In a recent morning press conference, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mayor of Mexico City, expressed her concern over the recent closure of airspace in Texas surrounding El Paso International Airport. She highlighted the need for an official explanation from the U.S. government, following statements by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi that suggested drone incursions linked to drug cartels. Sheinbaum asserted that there was no evidence of Mexican involvement in such activities and emphasized the lack of official information from U.S. sources regarding the situation.

Sheinbaum’s comments reflect a growing tension between Mexico and the United States regarding security and sovereignty issues. The remarks came after the U.S. government cited quick action against alleged drone threats as the reason for the airspace closure. Sheinbaum's call for clarity points to an ongoing dialogue about the responsibilities and communication between the countries, especially concerning issues that affect border security and public safety.

The situation underscores a broader concern about how cross-border issues are handled and communicated, indicating the need for transparency from U.S. authorities when claiming external threats from organized crime. It raises questions about the implications for U.S.-Mexico relations and the potential impact of perceived threats on the cross-border movement of people and goods. Sheinbaum's request for an official explanation might lead to increased scrutiny of U.S. actions and policies in relation to Mexico’s security.
