The border wall between the United States and Mexico, after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she ruled out a U.S. military intervention to combat drug cartels, following a "good conversation" on Monday with U.S. President Donald Trump on security
MEXICO CITY, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente and his U.S. counterpart, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, spoke on Thursday about security and "reaffirmed the importance of the U.S.-Mexico partnership," both governments said in a joint statement.
In a post on social media website X about the call, the State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs added that "the United States made clear that incremental progress in facing border security challenges is unacceptable."
"Upcoming bilateral engagements with Mexico will require concrete, verifiable outcomes to dismantle narcoterrorist networks and deliver a real reduction in fentanyl trafficking to protect communities on both sides of the border."
