Some call arrest of alleged drug lord an attempt to appease U.S. president Joe Biden, but the move has sparked deadly gunfights days before trilateral meeting
An explosion of gang violence following the arrest of accused drug lord Ovidio Guzman Lopez in Mexico is threatening to overshadow next week’s Three Amigos summit by putting the host country’s security crisis at the centre of a gathering meant to focus on migration and trade.
U.S. intelligence has played a role in previous cartel-related arrests, helping Mexican authorities track down criminal leaders. A spokesperson for Mr. Trudeau, Ann-Clara Vaillancourt, said the Prime Minister’s Office is “closely monitoring the situation” in Sinaloa, but would not say if or how the matter would be addressed at the summit.
Authorities shut down the airports in Culiacan, Mazatlan and Los Mochis Thursday after gunfire hit an Aeromexico plane as it prepared to take off from Culiacan. No one was injured on the plane, and the Culiacan and Mazatlan airports reopened on Friday. Both Ms. Grabic and Mr. Garon said shops and restaurants closed on Thursday, but that things started getting back to normal by Friday.should “limit movements and shelter in place if possible” and “not attempt to cross road blockades.”
Fernando Belaunzaran Mendez, a former Mexican legislator and critic of Mr. Lopez Obrador, said it was still unclear whether this week’s arrest was a one-off or the start of a wholesale change of policy for the President.
