U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar announced on Friday that the recent arrests of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquin Guzman Lopez represent a significant step in combating international crime networks.
In a statement, Salazar described the arrests as a “direct strike” against the criminal organizations involved in the distribution of synthetic drugs. He emphasized that these groups contribute to the ongoing violence and drug-related deaths affecting many communities.
Salazar also highlighted the importance of continued cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico on critical issues such as fentanyl trafficking, arms smuggling, and human trafficking. The ambassador reaffirmed the commitment to work together to address these challenges and reduce their impact on both countries.
