Senior U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, are in Mexico for talks with Mexican officials on the drug trade and the humanitarian crisis at the U.S. southern border. The U.S. is facing an epidemic of opioid addiction, with most deaths attributed to fentanyl trafficked by Mexican drug cartels. The U.S. is also dealing with a surge in migrants crossing the border, leading to calls for aggressive action, including military intervention. The U.S. and Mexico are discussing ways to cooperate on addressing these issues, but expectations for significant policy change are low.
