Two CIA officers and two Mexican investigators were killed in a vehicle crash in Mexico after a mission targeting a clandestine drug lab. The revelation comes amidst growing debate over US involvement in Mexican drug enforcement efforts, as confirmed by a US official.
The CIA's involvement was initially shrouded in contradictions by both Mexican and US authorities. This has reignited discussions on the broader scope of US participation in security operations within Mexico, especially under the pressure from President Donald Trump's administration.
The US Embassy confirmed that US officials were supporting Mexico in combating cartel operations, though it withheld the identities of the deceased. Meanwhile, Mexican President Sheinbaum maintained a cautious stance, acknowledging cooperation but emphasizing Mexico's sovereignty in her dealings with the US.
