During her morning press conference on June 2, President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed recent statements by US Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson regarding security issues and organized crime enforcement.

The president stated that diplomatic representatives must conduct themselves with respect for each nation's sovereignty and refrain from commenting on matters that fall within a country's internal jurisdiction.

Sheinbaum affirmed that Mexico maintains a cooperative relationship with the United States on issues of mutual interest, particularly in security, trade, and migration.

However, she emphasized that such collaboration must proceed through established institutional channels and with full respect for each government's authority.

The president reiterated that Mexico will continue working with US authorities on bilateral agenda items while stressing the importance of preserving a relationship grounded in mutual respect and non-interference.

Her remarks followed public scrutiny of comments made by the US diplomatic representative regarding Mexico's security situation.

The statement aligns with other federal administration positions that have emphasized maintaining a constructive US relationship while upholding the principles of sovereignty and cooperation that guide Mexican foreign policy.
