Mexico says 'no indication' plane carrying drugs came from El Salvador after diplomatic spat

Mexico’s government clarified there was “no indication” that an airplane it intercepted loaded with cocaine had originated from El Salvador, according to a letter posted by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. The letter comes after a diplomatic drama broke out between Bukele and Mexican officials after Mexico’s security chief said that authorities believed that a plane had come from El Salvador. Bukele has staked much of his popularity on his hard-handed crackdown on crime. The assertion riled up Bukele, who recalled El Salvador’s ambassador to Mexico and demanded a correction from the Mexican government.
