Senior Mexican government officials are attending a flurry of meetings with U.S. counterparts in Washington this week as bilateral tensions simmer over tariffs, drug gangs and migration. Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard will meet on Thursday with U.

Among those flown to the U.S. today was Rafael Caro Quintero, a founding member of the Sinaloa drug cartel who was convicted in Mexico of having masterminded the 1985 murder of the D.E.A. agent Enrique Camarena. For decades, American officials have obsessed over getting hold of him.

Rosalinda Gonzalez is married to Nemesio Oseguera, better known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Senior Mexican security and diplomatic officials will meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Thursday, President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters on Wednesday, as bilateral tensions over drug gangs and migration simmer.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says she hopes to speak with U.S. President Donald Trump now that he has announced plans to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting Tuesday.

President Claudia Sheinbaum also said Mexico will expand its legal action against U.S. gun manufacturers following the decision to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

President Donald Trump said Thursday that tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico will increase sharply on Tuesday and, in an unexpected move, also announced an additional 10 percent tax on Chinese goods that will take effect then.
