The U.S. State Department on Friday denied that the U.S. offered Mexico tariff relief in exchange for investigating high-level politicians.

"The United States and Mexico continue to work together to combat cartels and the corrupt actors that enable them," the department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs said in a post on X.
