Ken Salazar Admits U.S. Is “Part Of The Problem” Of Drug Use And Arms Trafficking

 "Char" for Borderland Beat

Leaving behind the scolding tone of last November 13, to which the Mexican government responded through a diplomatic note, Salazar echoed the letter that President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo sent to President-elect Donald Trump in response to his threat to impose tariffs.

WRITTEN BY: MATHIEU TOURLINE


MEXICO CITY (apro).- After the outspoken complaint regarding Mexico's security policy that he expressed two weeks ago, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, acknowledged today that drug consumption and arms trafficking from his country are “part of the problem”, which is why the governments on both sides of the border must address it “as partners”.

Leaving behind the scolding tone of last November 13, to which the Mexican government responded through a diplomatic note, Salazar echoed the letter that President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo sent to President-elect Donald Trump in response to his threat to impose tariffs when he takes office on January 20; the diplomat also qualified his criticism of the security strategy, stating that he said them “with great hope” that “the program that President Sheinbaum is developing” will work.

In a press conference held at the residence of the US Embassy, Salazar insisted on his agreement with the governments of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on migration issues, and emphasized that his government --that of Joe Biden-- continues to be committed to North America as a free trade zone.


Salazar repeated that Joe Biden's administration is “aligned” with the plans to invest in development projects in the South and Southeast of Mexico -he explicitly referred to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec-, as well as in the regions of origin of migrants, to address the roots of migration, and celebrated that he worked “very closely” with López Obrador on migration issues.


The diplomat, who stated two weeks ago that the strategy of “hugs not bullets” had failed, boasted that thanks to the joint work of both governments, the number of irregular migrant crossings between both countries fell by 65% to 75%.

    4. Trump is going to get in office and is going to do absolutely nothing . People seem to not understand or comprehend that the United States economy depends majorly on their partnership with Mexico . China and Russia would love for Mexico to join BRICS , it would be the beginning of the end for the US Dollar. So An invasion of Mexico to attack cartels or any type of racism toward Mexico wouldn’t be smart by the US .

    6. Trump will man handle Claudia. Trump is not weak like sleepy Joe. She is already so scared that she wrote him a letter to calm everything. Trump is going to send in the national guard to the boarder which he can do without confess approval. A sitting president can do this if it is a national emergency. Nuff Said!!!

    9. 9:42 you guys act like its really easy to do that, you have no idea of the consecunces that would cause, i still remember Texas closing their borders for a few days and when they felt the heat of the economy they opened them right back, the only way to stop drugs is to close the borders, mexico and Canada and the sea ports, USA would crumble in a week or so, if trump raises the tax on mexico and Canada the only ones stuck paying those taxis would be the people living in the USA, if you think shit is expensive right now, you have no idea what shit is gonna cost after, i bet you are the kind of guy who says, "yea lets only buy American made stuff" sorry to tell you but no one is gonna work for the cheap lavor that other countries do to keep your stuff available, im not a economic genius but even i can see that if trump does what he said he was gonna do, we are gonna have another big resecion

      What happened last time they did that to Mexico?
      Let's me tell you..well last time they did that, Mexico looked for other trading partners like Brazil for beef and now are set to grow corn wich comes mostly from the US
      Americans think they can bully Mexico but those days are over 😡

    13. Fentanyl and other drugs are killing over 100,000 people a year in the US. Mexico CANNOT stop the cartels BUT the US thinks it can. 100 percent they are sending special forces, Green berets, seals and delta force and these guys are READY, they want action! I've seen interviews on YouTube the retired guys want to come out of retirement and F shit up in Mexico. They won't finish them BUT they are gonna whoop their asses deservingly so. Can't wait for that even though some Americans WILL die but they don't give a F.

    15. 840 sure kid. Here's some facts for you the American economy is booming and this all under Biden. not only that he tamed inflation which was caused by covid 19 and global supply chain issues let that sink in. And get ready for 4 years of hyper inflation and interest reversing to the upside all under dump I mean trump.

    16. @246 Biden isn't weak?? He is atrocious!! He is literally the worst POTUS in my lifetime. His open border policy was a joke!! He is a gutless president who aligned himself with the DEI wrongly thinking he had numbers. Well he and Harris found out November 5 they had nothing!! The election was an utter landslide.Every policy and program he started was voted down. Trump will throw his plans in reverse day one. Your population will be increasing day one when the mass deportations start. Trump is a talker but his actions will speak loudly for him! The freak show that was the Biden presidency is OVER!! While I don't doubt your incredible insight on tariffs and what they will or won't accomplish at least he is following through on his campaign promises. I will GLADLY pay more for Avocados and other goods if his plan is effective and it slows the flow of drugs into this country. Will he stop drugs? No. Will he seriously curtail them? I believe he will. If this doesn't work things will only get more dire for Mexico. Maybe the next step is a bombing campaign?? Trump has ALL the power and the backing of the great majority of Americans to do whatever is necessary to secure the borders and stop the import of drugs and the mass immigration that Biden so weakly welcomed!! Trump has the house and the Senate. He has more clout then the first go round. The world had better pay attention

    1. It seems the people are fed up and the new generation is leaving behind the no pasa nada mentality and speaking out against the injustice and propaganda the Mexican government uses. The one benefit of social media now to finally have a platform for people to share the videos of everything going on around them that the Mexican government continues to deny and easily got away with before by silencing the media.

    3. 813, apparently you don't know the definition of a dictatorship. Mexico is playing catch up with the U.S. a lot of the plans, programs and policies Mexico is starting to run, the U.S has been running for the last 70 years.

      1042 Social media is what got Morena in office. The young people woke up to the corporate medias manipulation tactics and voted for change by an overwhelming 60% approval. Same thing happened in the U.S with these last elections. The people opted for social media rather than the traditional modes of corporate media and the result is what we witnessed.

    4. 1038, some of these comments are ignorance, some of them are a result of the mainstream American news media brainwashing and ommitting information. Those like 859 are the target audience, blind and impressionable... The bottom line is, there have been events since when Trump first took office regarding U.S and LATIN AMERICAN (not just mexico) relations that many have slept on. Latin America is uniting and it would be in the U.S's best interest to join. The U.S is not what it once was. Trump can impose tarrifs but it's only going to affect the American consumer. The tide is about to turn.

  21. Its pretty easy. Mexico necesita hacen un El Salvador con los carteles.
    Both US and Mex have border laws and drug laws.
    ENFORCE THEM!
    HACERLAS CUMPLIR!
    Fentanyl is not a drug its a poison. You used to be able to snort cocaine and live. Now with fentanyl added you die. You used to be able to take an oxy pill and live. Now with a tiny bit of fentanyl added you die.
    CUANDO VENDES FENTANILO ERES UN ASESINO!
    Fentanyl sellers are mass murderers and should be executed. The CCP is a mass murderer and so are the Mexican cartels. For the CCP mass murder is just another day of their history of murdering their own people. I always thought Mexico was better than that. Clearly the cartels who thrive in Mexico right under Claudia's nose have no problem with mass murder. They practice it every day in Mexico with very little cause for concern. Hugs Not Bullets failed now its Claudia's turn. What cartel respects a woman? Mexico is a narco machismo state. Mexico has always been machismo, but I saw Mexico before the cartels, before narco, and Mexico was a grand and awesome place to live for all. Ahora? No!

    With Biden and AMLO and Claudia you get more murder and more narco and more despair. Que lastima para Mexico!

So quit fessing up for everyone else, as though you have a point, when this shit doesn't necessarily apply. And ya'll better stop moving Fentanyl for the CCP cause there's a new sheriff bout to take over in 51 days who's into chewing gum and kicking asses. And he's fresh out of chewing gum.
