Mexico Denies CIA Operations Report

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum denied a CNN report alleging that the United States — Central Intelligence Agency was conducting deadly operations in Mexican territory, specifically facilitating a targeted assassination of a Sinaloa Cartel member. Sheinbaum accused CNN of attempting to harm the Mexican government and people, while also dismissing a New York Times report that Mexican forces carried out the attack with United States — Central Intelligence Agency support as 'fiction'. The United States — Central Intelligence Agency also refuted CNN's report, calling it 'false and salacious'. This incident comes amidst other recent scandals involving the United States and Mexico, including the deaths of two United States — Central Intelligence Agency agents in Mexico and a New York court charging a Mexican governor with drug trafficking. The events underscore questions about Mexico's sovereignty and the pressure on Claudia Sheinbaum to maintain a strong relationship with the United States.
