Washington DC.- Tensions between the Mexican Armed Forces have been exacerbated and may worsen joint operations in the future, according to secret Pentagon documents leaked online.
According to a report in The Washington Post citing those documents, the Mexican secretary of the Navy “instructed Navy officials to limit cooperation with Sedena.”
That instruction would have been given after the Mexican Army took control of all Mexican airspace.
Likewise, the note from the American newspaper indicates that the documents ensure that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will continue to give more tasks to the Mexican Army.
The Washington Post stated that an official from the Mexican Embassy in Washington refused to comment and that the documents do not indicate whether the information was taken by wiretapping or from the country’s authorities.
Espionage to the Gulf Cartel
The United States spied on members of the Gulf Cartel after the four Americans in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, were kidnapped and two of them killed.
According to Pentagon documents, drug traffickers allegedly kidnapped foreigners for a hit-and-run.
The members of the Cartel prepared to defend themselves against any operation by the Mexican Army.
