, R-Ala., a ranking member on the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations subcommittee, told Fox News Digital that she discussed the tensions between Vulcan and the Mexican government with Mexico Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard while on an official trip to Mexico City last month. She told Fox that the Mexican government needed to focus more on going after the cartels endangering Mexican citizens and the millions of tourists who visit the country each year.
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who served in the Trump administration, reacted to the apparent seizure on Twitter by calling on the Biden administration to defend Vulcan."Getting pretty used to the Biden administration letting China and Russia kick sand in our faces —but now Mexico, too?" he wrote on Twitter Sunday.
"The Mexican military seized a U.S. company’s marine terminal in Mexico. This is insane," he wrote on Twitter, including the security footage video of the military entering the facility. Vulcan also speculates that CEMEX will seek to occupy the property with the support of the military and police for an unknown period and distribute its unloaded materials to its customers.
Somewhere behind this curtain I suspect is the hand of Putin using Cuba & ultimately Mexico as proxies to harass the US. This would be just Putin’s style of vendetta after US support of Ukraine, right on Russia’s doorstep. If so expect it to worsen.
So we can build enterprises in Mexico but then the govt will interfere and eventually take it over?
