“Rubio met with Velasco for talks on global security and immigration issues”
This meeting signals a prioritization of the U.S.-Mexico relationship in the current administration's foreign policy. By focusing on the intersection of global security and immigration, the U.S. is attempting to link border management with broader geopolitical stability, suggesting that cooperation on migration is viewed as a component of national security rather than a standalone domestic issue.
