Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum hailed an agreement reached with the U.S. to curb the illegal flow of weapons from the latter, claiming it is the first time that Washington made a commitment to expand operations in its own territory to this end.
The agreement, dubbed "Operation Firewall," follows a visit by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. "For the first time, the U.S. recognizes it has to conduct operations to control guns or the illegal trafficking of guns to Mexico," Sheinbaum said.
