Through social networks, the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and the Navy reported on the meeting with the White House representative, which took place on the instructions of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo after Washington's armed forces carried out a new missile attack on a supposed"narco-boat" in international waters of the Pacific, 450 nautical miles - 830 kilometers - from the coast of Guerrero.
