# Mexico has extradited 29 alleged drug cartel members to the United States, including high-profile gang leaders. Those extradited include notorious drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero who has been wanted by the US for the murder of an American agent 40 years ago. It is one of the biggest extraditions in Mexico’s history and a major step in bilateral security relations between the two countries. It comes after US president Donald Trump earlier threatened to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, accusing it of failing to tackle drug trafficking and migration.
