Mexico began the extradition process for 29 cartel leaders and members to the U.S. as officials from both countries begin negotiations over trade tariffs.
The extraditions were done at the request of the U.S. government as President Donald Trump’s tariff deadline looms. One of the president’s demands is for Mexico to crack down on dangerous cartels and fentanyl production and distribution. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
