Mexico’s president on Monday downplayed the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)’s role in last week’s capture of drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, exposing tensions over security cooperation despite the major cross-border win.
The head of the DEA had hailed the arrest as the product of joint cooperation, but President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador repeatedly sought to paint a different picture.
