Dem Rep. Subramanyam: Mexican Authorities Did Not Alert Us Because They Don’t Trust Us Under Trump

‘I‘d like to see a more collaborative relationship between the Mexico and United States’

EXCERPT:

SUBRAMANYAM: “I think one of the things I'm disappointed about is that Mexican authorities did not alert at least our country in advance of this so that we would know to at least put out some form of travel advisory. But clearly they wanted to do this discreetly. And by doing this, they've actually put a lot of folks in harm's way. And so we ask those who are right now in Puerto Vallarta and other parts of Mexico affected, American citizens, to reach out to us, reach out to our office and other offices, and we will help you navigate this very turbulent time. And moving forward, I'd like to see a more collaborative relationship between the Mexico and the United States. One of the problems we're having in our diplomacy and foreign policy right now is our allies don't trust us anymore.”
