Mexico City. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo stated that Mexico will limit the entry of US military aircraft, even when they are related to training activities, considering it preferable that Mexican aircraft be in charge of transporting personnel who go to train abroad.
When asked by a journalist why a U.S. military plane landed at Toluca International Airport and not at another base, the President explained that the decision was made by the National Security Council, which must approve this type of training and bilateral agreements.
The head of the Executive Branch emphasized that these are not individual decisions of one institution, but rather decisions made by different branches of the State, and reiterated that the landing in Toluca did not violate any law nor did it require authorization from the Senate, since that body only intervenes when foreign troops or trainers enter the country.
