Mexican consulates under scrutiny, CBS reports

In Mexico on 8 May 2026, President Sheinbaum denied that Mexican consulates in the US engage in politics against the US government, calling the claim 'absolutely false' after CBS said the consulates are under review. Díaz Ayuso cancelled a trip to Mexico and returned early, citing a 'climate of boycott' and blaming the Sheinbaum government. The Mexican government said Ayuso 'went to provoke' Mexico. Trump increased pressure on Mexico that week, insisting that 'the cartels govern' the country.
