First public intervention

Roberto Lazzeri participated this Wednesday in his first public event as Mexican ambassador to the United States. It was during an event organized by Donald Trump on the National Mall for the 250th anniversary of American independence.

There he heard the message from President Trump, who highlighted a 66% reduction in the flow of fentanyl into his country. Lazzeri pointed out that these results strengthen bilateral security cooperation, promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum based on respect for sovereignty and coordination.

A 35% decrease in overdose deaths in the United States was also mentioned, as well as the seizure of nearly 30,000 firearms. The ambassador attributed these figures to the joint work between both nations.

Trump used the event to refer to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be played in North America. Lazzeri assured that Mexico contributes to the project with actions in security, connectivity and tourism, with an estimated economic benefit of more than 18 billion pesos.

In labor matters, rights were recovered for teachers: salary increases, creation of the Pension Fund for Wellbeing and modifications to stop the increase in the retirement age.
