Mexican President Sheinbaum responded to US DEA Director Terry Cole, who yesterday did not rule out bombing Mexico.
The grotesque Trumpist cabinet – and the American ruling class – continue to exhibit hypocrisy, violence and transparently imperial thinking that threaten not just Latin America’s sovereignty, but the lives of the inhabitants of the entire planet.
The DEA and other Washington agencies fail to understand Mexico has changed and they will no longer find the obsequious silence that once allowed them to do and say as they please.

US President Donald Trump made the remarks during a press conference in the Oval Office on Thursday.
The surrender of drug lords and criminals that has been carried out, in a completely illegal manner, is already a form of surrender, of capitulation to the United States, something never seen before.
