U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has concluded her Latin American tour in Mexico City, following visits to El Salvador and Colombia. During her meeting with Mexican government officials, Noem discussed critical issues of security and migration that have been underscored by the Trump administration.
The tour aimed to strengthen cooperation between the United States and Latin American nations on mutual concerns. In Mexico, topics like border security and managing migration flows were at the forefront of discussions. These talks come at a time when migration from Central America through Mexico to the U.S. has been a significant issue.
“Enhancing our collaboration with our neighbors is vital for regional stability,” Secretary Noem stated. “By working together, we can address the root causes of migration and improve security for all our citizens.”
Mexican officials emphasized the importance of joint efforts in tackling organized crime and improving economic opportunities to reduce the factors driving migration. The meetings signal a continued commitment to dialogue between the neighboring countries.
