Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she talked with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone to discuss the security situation after an operation killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
Speaking at her Wednesday morning press conference, Sheinbaum said Trump asked about security conditions after the killing, according to Mexican news outlet AS.
"He called to ask me what is happening in Mexico, how things are. I told him about the operation and that we had intelligence support from the United States government," Sheinbaum said.
She reiterated that Mexican forces carried out the operation after Trump said during his State of the Union address Tuesday night that the United States had eliminated the drug trafficker.
