The United States announced an initiative to combat drugs with Mexico, which the Mexican president denied.

Jin10 data reported on August 20, Mexican President Sinbom stated on Tuesday that the Mexican government has not reached an agreement with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regarding an operation called the “Potro Project” announced by the DEA. The DEA stated in a release on Monday that it would launch a “bold bilateral initiative” with Mexico aimed at destroying drug smuggling corridors. Sinbom responded, saying: “The DEA issued this statement, and we do not know what it is based on. We have not reached any agreement with the DEA through any security agency, and we do not know why they issued this statement.”
