President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that Mexico has no agreement with the US DEA on “Project Portero,” a new initiative targeting cartel operations. She called the DEA’s announcement unexpected and stressed that any cooperation must respect Mexico’s sovereignty, Reuters reported.
Sheinbaum noted that Mexico and US are finalizing a broader security coordination framework. The DEA plans a training program in Texas for Mexican and US officials, but past DEA activities in Mexico have faced criticism for potential infringements on national sovereignty.
