WASHINGTON, D.C. (WNCT) — Congressman Don Davis (NC-01) traveled to Mexico with a congressional delegation including former North Carolina Speaker of the House and current Congressman Tim Moore.
They met with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, her cabinet members and other officials. The purpose of the visit was to discuss several issues including the border, fentanyl and other drugs, cartels, trade and banking.
“Our delegation’s meeting with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was both constructive and productive,” Congressman Davis said. “She emphasized the proactive measures Mexico is implementing to address fentanyl and cartel activities and efforts to secure our southern border. We appreciate her commitment to working closely with the United States and equally recognize the importance of stable trade policies due to our interconnected economies.”
Since the beginning of the year, Mexico has deployed more than 10,000 National Guard troops to its borders, effectively preventing around 700,000 unlawful entries into the U.S.
“Mexico’s actions and the Trump administration’s policies have significantly reduced unlawful border crossings,” Congressman Davis said. “But our work isn’t finished. China poses a serious threat and Mexican drug cartels will continue to find ways to smuggle drugs into America. We must stay ahead of them.”
