A U.S.-Mexico Impasse Will Test How Far the Trump Administration Will Go to Fight Drug Trade
The Trump administration faces a test in its efforts to combat drug corruption in Mexico as President Claudia Sheinbaum refuses to arrest Rubén Rocha Moya, a Sinaloa state governor charged by the U.S. Justice Department. The U.S. has threatened unilateral action against Mexican drug traffickers, but Mexico's refusal to extradite high-level officials has escalated tensions.
