Sheinbaum Condemns US Court Decision, Renews Call to Curb Arms Flow into Mexico

Mexico's Sheinbaum Rejects Lawsuit Block, Highlights US Arms Trafficking. Mexico City – Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government in Mexico City, strongly criticized a US court decision that blocked a lawsuit against American arms manufacturers. She stated, "The court says there's no relation between who manufactures and the weapons that cross into Mexico. We disagree." Sheinbaum emphasized that 75% of weapons seized in Mexico originate from the US, underscoring the urgent need for international cooperation. She also revealed that another lawsuit is pending against US arms distributors and sellers. The US Ambassador's recent statement acknowledging the importance of reducing arms flow to Mexico signals a potential shift in collaborative efforts.
