Mexico Winds Down Search for Survivor of U.S. Boat Strike

Mexico has ended its search for a survivor after United States military strikes on boats accused of drug trafficking killed at least 14 people earlier this week. United States officials initially reported seeing one person alive in the water after the strikes and alerted Mexican authorities, who launched a search-and-rescue operation but found no survivors. The incident has heightened tensions between the two countries, with Mexico criticizing the attacks as potential violations of international law and expressing concern over the United States' willingness to use military force against drug cartels based in Mexico. Meanwhile, lawmakers in Washington are demanding more transparency from the administration about the legal justification for the strikes and the broader military campaign against drug trafficking organizations in the region.
