Mexico's president says ambassadors must avoid political affairs after Ron Johnson's post on drug trafficking dispute

Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday appeared to chide Ron Johnson, a US ambassador, for interfering in the country's politics amid rising tensions between her country and Washington over efforts to tackle drug trafficking.

It is also very important, and I say this respectfully, to remember that ambassadors should focus on coordination and collaboration," Sheinbaum said during her regular morning news conference. Ambassadors must respect the internal political affairs of their countries."
