MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico and the United States will join forces to invest in public health around drug use, reduce arms-trafficking and dismantle criminal networks as part of a new security accord, the countries said in a joint statement on Friday.
The neighbors will also work together to dismantle the trafficking of firearms sold in the United States and smuggled to Mexico, said the statement following high-level talks between officials from both nations, including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in Mexico.
