Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) claimed that top drug kingpin Joaquín Guzmán López, son of El Chapo Guzmán and who was arrested alongside Ismael El Mayo Zambada on July 25 in El Paso, negotiated his surrender with Washington:
"The United States government itself has acknowledged that they carried out a negotiation, at least, with one of the two, with Joaquín Guzmán López, that is what they informed us. It seems that it was an agreement."
