Ambassador Johnson warns the narco: Mexico and the US will go against the entire network
US Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson emphasized bilateral cooperation against drug trafficking following the death of a prominent cartel leader.
US Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson has issued a strong warning to narcotics traffickers, announcing that both the United States and Mexico are taking coordinated action to dismantle the entire drug trafficking network. In a social media statement, he highlighted the recent visit of Sara Carter, the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), to Mexico, which reinforces the commitment of both nations to combat drug-related crimes. This collaboration is particularly significant following the death of the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Nemesio Oseguera, known as 'El Mencho'.
Ambassador Johnson noted that the partnership aims to target every level of the drug trafficking operations, emphasizing that the fight is not limited to those who produce and traffic drugs but extends to financiers and facilitators involved in laundering money from these criminal enterprises. He reiterated the commitment from both countries to face the complex challenges posed by drug traffickers and insisted on a comprehensive approach to disrupt the entire infrastructure of narcotrafficking.
This announcement reflects heightened bilateral efforts between the US and Mexico, particularly in the wake of increasing concerns about drug-related violence and the impact on both countries. The mention of significant political figures like Donald Trump and Claudia Sheinbaum suggests a united front, indicating a strong resolve to intensify the campaign against narcotics and ensure a reduction in crime associated with drug trafficking.
