Mexican officials rejected claims made by Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terrance Cole, who said July 13 that the Mexican government has a "dangerous connection" to drug cartels, adding that "they are one in the same."
In a statement posted on social media, Mexico's Security Cabinet categorically rejected Cole's remarks, saying the security strategy implemented under President Claudia Sheinbaum is based on a policy of zero impunity. The statement also highlighted the results achieved by Mexican authorities since Sheinbaum took office in October 2024.
