MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (By Fidencio Casillas, Energy Analytics Institute, 7.Jan.2025, Words: 249) — Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo said her country would do its part to assist the US in the its fight against high opioid and fentanyl consumption but not at the expense of the Latin American country’s sovereignty.
“Where does opioid consumption come from in American society? From pharmaceuticals. So, what you can’t do is close your eyes to what’s happening in the United States. We will contribute, we will support in everything and every way we can, of course, with respect for our sovereignty, but we will collaborate,” Sheinbaum said 7 Jan. 2025 during her mañanera or daily briefing with the media.
