SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) -Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said on Wednesday that he was recalling the Central American nation’s ambassador to Mexico for consultations after Mexico’s security minister claimed a drug trafficking plane had come from El Salvador, which Bukele denied.
Bukele, in a post on X, said that the Mexican government needed to clarify and rectify the comments made by Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch.
Garcia Harfuch, speaking in a morning press conference, had claimed that a small plane flown by drug traffickers had come from El Salvador before being intercepted in Colima, Mexico.
