U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Mexico next week to meet with the country’s president.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she and Rubio will come to an agreement on security during their meeting on Sept. 3.
“Everything will be in the framework of respect for our sovereignty,” Sheinbaum told reporters Friday.
The State Department says Rubio will work toward the Trump administration goal of dismantling drug cartels — as well as economic priorities — during the visit.
Rubio has already traveled to other Latin American countries this year. His first trip in his post was to Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.
Mexico is under pressure to come to an agreement with the United States ahead of an upcoming tariff deadline, when the Trump administration has said it will put a 30% tax on all Mexican goods.
