00:00To his visit to Ecuador, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in Mexico to address issues on the Common Agenda.
00:06Our correspondent in Mexico City, Daniel Rosas, brings us the details.
00:10Mexico and the United States advanced in an understanding of cooperation in the areas of migration, trade, and, above all, security.
00:21A high-level group is being formed, which in fact has already met for the first time in Washington.
00:25And the idea is that there will be permanent daily meetings between both governments, through the secretaries of state, to give continuity to this cooperation program.
00:40This mechanism of understanding, called the Border Security and Law Enforcement Cooperation Program, establishes concrete steps.
00:47This includes measures to counteract illicit financial flows, the flow of illegal fuel, the arrest of generators of violence,
01:02and the trafficking of illicit drugs and weapons, each in their own territory.
01:08But there is still much to be done, and we both understand that the cartels are a threat to the national security of Mexico
01:17and the United States, so it makes perfect sense to cooperate and work together.
01:26The meeting comes hours after Donald Trump, in an interview, praised the Mexican president,
01:31only to later assure that she does not accept the intervention of U.S. soldiers for fear of the Mexican cartels.
01:38This statement he made is not true, but we chose to keep the good relationship.
01:45I also thank you for the nice mention you made of me.
01:51Statements such as this, of supposedly attacking criminal groups to justify an intervention,
01:57open the door to meddling, considers this specialist.
01:59On the one hand, a very alarmist discourse is being used about the supposed narco-terrorism
02:08that organizations such as the so-called Sinalo Cartel or the Jalisco New Generation Cartel would exercise.
02:14And on a second level, the response given to this is a supposedly accurate militarization
02:19This is a way for Washington to exert pressure on Mexico, and it also unmasks Donald Trump's double talk, he adds.
02:37President Trump, who came moreover into office saying he would not get involved in external conflicts,
02:41on the contrary, has had a very hostile behavior.
02:45This is a form of failed diplomacy, considers Zavala.
