Mexico Plans More Extraditions of Alleged Drug Traffickers to U.S.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Tuesday that there are additional lists of alleged drug traffickers pending extradition to the United States. This follows Mexico's earlier transfer of nearly 30 individuals linked to violent drug cartels, which occurred amid threats from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding tariffs on Mexican goods. Trump is expected to declare reciprocal tariff rates on April 2, focusing on aluminum, steel, and automobiles. During her press briefing, Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico's commitment to cooperating with the U.S. while rejecting a retaliatory approach to the tariffs, asserting that appropriate actions would be taken. The announcement reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations and address cross-border crime effectively.
