‘Who lied?’ about the United States’ role in the capture of cartel boss ‘El Mayo’ Zambada: Tuesday’s mañanera recapped
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Interior Minister Rosa Icela Rodríguez questioned U.S. involvement in the 2024 capture of Sinaloa Cartel leader Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, citing contradictions between U.S. statements. The Mexican government accused the FBI of claiming credit for the operation and suggested a U.S. pact with cartel members, while the U.S. Embassy denied collaboration. Mexican authorities plan to seek information from the FBI about the arrest.
