Looks like Mexico is bending the knee already

We categorically reject the White House's slander of the Mexican government for having alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any interventionist intention in our territory.

If there is such an alliance anywhere, it is in U.S. armories that sell high-powered weapons to these criminal groups, as the U.S. Department of Justice itself demonstrated in January this year.

Our government has secured more than 40 tons of drugs in four months, including 20 million doses of fentanyl. It has also arrested more than 10,000 people linked to these groups.

If the U.S. government and its agencies wanted to address the serious consumption of fentanyl in their country, they can, for example, combat the sale of narcotics on the streets of their main cities, what they do not do and the money laundering generated by this illegal activity that has done so much damage to their population.

It could also start a massive campaign to prevent the use of these drugs and care for its young people, as we have done in Mexico. Drug use and distribution is in their country and that is a public health problem they have not addressed. In addition, the epidemic of synthetic opioids in the United States has its origin in the indiscriminate prescription of drugs of this type, authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as evidenced by the trial against a pharmaceutical company.

Mexico doesn't want confrontation. We start from collaboration between neighbouring countries. Mexico doesn't just want fentanyl to get to the U.S., it doesn't want it anywhere. Therefore, if the United States wants to fight criminal groups that traffic drugs and generate violence, we must work together in a comprehensive way, but always under the principles of shared responsibility, mutual trust, collaboration and above all, respect for sovereignty, which is non-negotiable. Coordination yes; subordination, no.

To do this, I propose to President Trump that we establish a working table with our best public health and safety teams.

It is not with the imposition of tariffs that the problems are solved, but by talking and dialoguing as we did in recent weeks with your State Department to address the phenomenon of migration; in our case, with respect for human rights.
The graph that President Trump has been uploading to his social networks about the decrease in migration was elaborated by my team, which has been in constant communication with his.

I instruct the Secretary of Economy to implement plan B that we have been working on, which includes tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of Mexico's interests.

Nothing by force; everything by reason and law.
