After Rubio's Criticism, Sheinbaum Urges the U.S. Not to Use Mexico in 'Their Electoral Campaign'
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Claudia Sheinbaum once again rejected the claims made by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated that drug cartels are out of control in Mexico and attributed these remarks to the 'electoral campaign' in the United States ahead of the midterm elections in November. 'I believe this is part of the electoral campaign in the United States. They have an election in November, and as we have said, they should not use Mexico in their campaign. The United States has its problems. Therefore, Mexico should not be used as part of the electoral campaign,' Sheinbaum emphasized during her regular morning press conference. The president responded to Rubio's comments, who claimed during a visit to Ecuador on Wednesday that 'there are territories, vast territories in Mexico, that are not governed by the state, but are controlled by drug trafficking organizations,' a statement that has been reiterated by U.S. President Donald Trump on other occasions. 'Mexico is not anyone's piñata; Mexico deserves respect. We do not interfere in their elections,' she added.
