In response to a question about the rece attacks on boats that the US considers to be drug smugglers, the Preside of Mexico said: He does not agree with the US attacks on boats off the coast of South America.

He added that Mexico seeks to develop its relations with the United States, but will not abandon the principles of sovereigy, autonomy and non-ierference in the affairs of other couries.
On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal, citing American officials and flight data, reported that in the midst of tensions between the governme and the United States and Venezuela, two American B-1 long-range bombers flew near Venezuelan airspace on Thursday.
A U.S. defense official told the Wall Street Journal that the planes are not based at any regional base because they have the ability to reach anywhere in the Caribbean from U.S. soil.
Another official added that more missions involving the bombers will be carried out soon.
Tensions are rising in the region as Washington claims a war against drug traffickers.
“Donald Trump,” the preside of the United States, had previously said that his coury may also target ground targets in South America after carrying out naval attacks.
Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrio Lopez warned on Thursday that any covert CIA operation against his coury would fail.
He said: We know that the CIA is prese in Venezuela. They may deploy any number of CIA-affiliated units in covert operations, but any attempt by them will fail.
