Mexico City (AFP) - Mexico is the "champion" of production of synthetic drugs including fentanyl, the head of the country's criminal investigation agency acknowledged Tuesday, at international talks aimed at fighting the problem. The blunt admission came as visiting US officials called for a "more agile" joint approach to combating drug trafficking by powerful Mexican cartels. "Mexico has been the champion of the production of methamphetamine, and now fentanyl," Felipe de Jesus Gallo said. That had been "the source of the greatest wealth and power" for Mexican criminal organizations, he added....

Palominas (United States) (AFP) - John Ladd, who says he could ride a horse before he could walk, is a fourth-generation rancher from a family that arrived in Arizona when the border between Mexico and the United States was just a line on the map. Now he views that frontier -- and the thousands of people who spill across it every day -- as a threat to his whole way of life. "It rules how we run the ranch now, and that isn't the most effective way," he told AFP. Ladd's sprawling cattle farm runs right up against the wall that -- at least in this stretch -- separates Mexico from the United State...

A chilly, midday darkness fell across North America on Monday as a total solar eclipse raced across the continent, thrilling those lucky enough to behold the spectacle through clear skies. Eclipse mania gripped all of Mexico, the US and Canada, as the moon swept in front of the sun, blotting out daylight. Almost everyone in North America was guaranteed at least a partial eclipse, weather permitting. It was the continent’s biggest eclipse audience ever, with a couple hundred million people living in or near the shadow’s path, plus scores of out-of-towners flocking in. Just east of Dallas, Texas...

Sealevel rise and increasingly ferocious storms - both driven by climate change - are eroding thousands of miles of Mexico's coastline facing the Gulf and the Pacific Ocean. Around this country of nearly 130 million people, drought is draining reservoirs dry and creating severe water shortages. Deadly heat is straining people and crops and aging infrastructure is struggling to keep up. But the leading presidential candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, an environmental scientist and a co-author of the 2007 Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, is not making climate a cen...

By Braden Chalker Mexico boss Jaime 'Jimmy' Lozano admitted the USMNT have widened the gap between the two national teams after extending their unbeaten streak against their southern rivals to seven games. Just when things were starting to look up for Mexico under Lozano after last summer's Gold Cup triumph, it all came crashing down again at the hands of the US. Even though the Stars and Stripes have flexed their muscles over their rivals in the last couple of years, Sunday night's Nations League final looked quite even on paper and many were expecting an entertaining contest. However, Gregg ...

By Braden Chalker The US men's national team and Mexico will renew their rivalry on Sunday night in the Concacaf Nations League final at AT&T Stadium. The Stars and Stripes took the more complicated route to the final after their scare against Trinidad and Tobago in the quarterfinals in which they triumphed 4-2 on aggregate despite losing the second leg 2-1. Gregg Berhalter's side trailed nearly the entire 90 minutes in the semifinal vs Jamaica, but a late own goal saw the two teams battle in extra time. A pair of Haji Wright goals -- both assisted by Gio Reyna -- lifted the US to a 3-1 victor...

By Braden Chalker Mexico national team boss Jaime 'Jimmy' Lozano believes neither his side or the US men's national team are favorites for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League final this weekend. El Tri are coming off a 3-0 triumph over Panama in the semifinals, where Lozano's side displayed the art of counter-attacking to a tee at AT&T Stadium. Mexico recorded just 41% possession, choosing to sit in for most of the match and break through in transition with the likes of Edson Alvarez and Julian Quinones - who scored his first goal as a member of the national team - put the Concacaf giants in ...

By Braden Chalker Panama will look to play spoilers against Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals on Thursday night at AT&T Stadium. Jaime Lozano's side were just about outmatched by Honduras in their quarterfinal tie, but a penalty shootout victory at Estadio Azteca saw them prevail. El Tri were down 2-0 after the first leg but managed to tie things up at two apiece before Andy Najar's missed penalty attempt sealed the win for the North American giants. Panama will be looking for revenge this time out, as it was Mexico who toppled the Central American nation in last summer's Gold C...
