Former Homeland Security Chief Sees Hope for Improved US-Mexico Security Ties Under Biden
Washington D.C. – Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson expressed optimism about the future of US-Mexico security cooperation under the incoming Biden governance. Johnson, who served under President Obama, believes a fresh start is needed after what he described as a deterioration in relations during the Trump era.
“The security relationship between the United states and Mexico, frankly, began to decompose before President López Obrador even took office,” Johnson said in a recent interview. “We need to start anew with fresh agreements and a renewed commitment to collaboration.”
Johnson, who oversaw border security and immigration enforcement during his tenure, highlighted the importance of a strong partnership with Mexico in addressing shared challenges like drug trafficking and organized crime. He expressed hope that the Biden administration would prioritize rebuilding trust and fostering a more constructive dialog with Mexico on these critical issues.
