Sheinbaum Refutes DEA's 'Deadly Connection' Allegations

Sheinbaum labeled Cole's comments as 'unfortunate' and maintained the integrity of her administration in combating organized crime and corruption.

In a vehement response, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday rebuffed accusations levelled by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Terry Cole, negating any supposed ties between her government and drug cartels.

Sheinbaum characterized the DEA head's assertions as 'unfortunate,' firmly opposing his reference to a so-called 'deadly connection' involving Mexican officials and criminal syndicates.
