Sheinbaum confronts US over unauthorized CIA operation in Chihuahua: Wednesday’s mañanera recapped

President Sheinbaum has taken a firm stance regarding an unauthorized CIA operation in Chihuahua, Mexico. During a press conference, Sheinbaum stated that the Foreign Ministry has sent a letter to U.S. Ambassador Ron Johnson demanding answers about the operation. She emphasized that U.S. involvement in Mexican security operations must adhere to agreed protocols, indicating that the CIA's actions may have violated these protocols. In addition to demanding answers, Sheinbaum has ordered an investigation into whether the CIA operation in Chihuahua breached Mexican law. She noted that if the investigation reveals that a joint security operation was indeed being conducted between the state of Chihuahua and the U.S., Mexico would respond by sending a protest note to the U.S. government. This indicates a serious concern regarding the legality and appropriateness of foreign involvement in national security matters. The situation highlights the tensions between Mexico and the United States regarding security operations within Mexican territory. Sheinbaum's actions reflect a commitment to uphold Mexican sovereignty and ensure that any international cooperation in security matters is conducted within the framework of established agreements. The outcome of the investigation and the U.S. government's response to the demands made by Mexico remain to be seen.
