"Did Ken Salazar lie?"; Sheinbaum questions former U.S. ambassador over reports of the arrest of "El Mayo" Zambada

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum questioned whether former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar lied about the involvement of U.S. agencies in the arrest of drug lord Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada. During her morning press conference, she recalled that during the administration of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, information was requested from the U.S. embassy regarding Zambada’s case. Salazar publicly stated there had been no participation by any U.S. agency. However, recent reports suggest that the plane used in the operation was displayed at a fair where the FBI claimed credit for the operation. Sheinbaum raised doubts about who might be lying and emphasized that if U.S. agencies were involved, it would violate international treaties and Mexican law. She also reiterated that her government does not make deals with organized crime and highlighted past high-profile arrests, including Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán and Genaro García Luna.
