SEATTLE - After days of political tension, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar praised the U.S. and Mexico's cooperation in terms of their battle against criminal organized groups, saying the efforts made by both governments have contributed in slowing down the spread of fentanyl as well as helped dismantle the Sinaloa Cartel.
But despite the ambassador's words, it has not been all roses between Mexico and the U.S. in recent times. Ever since cartel turf wars erupted in northern Mexico due to the capture of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada in American soil, both countries have been in constant communication about how to deal with the wave of violence seen in Sinaloa.
