A news report indicates that homicides in Mexico have decreased by nearly 25% since September, prior to President Sheinbaum taking office, with daily averages dropping significantly compared to 2018. Over half of the homicides this month occurred in seven states, with Guanajuato having the highest count. Authorities have arrested over 13,000 people for serious crimes since October, seizing drugs and dismantling methamphetamine labs. The United States and Mexico are engaged in trade negotiations to avoid tariffs, related to the flow of illegal drugs across the border. Other news from Mexico includes reports on a new clean water plant, increased egg smuggling, and the registration application of a far-right political party.
