Mexico's president-elect speaks with Trump and addresses water, Cuba, and border issues

Mexico's president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, confirmed she had a phone call with Donald Trump. The conversation followed a Mexican military operation against a drug cartel leader known as 'El Mencho.' Sheinbaum also said Mexico declined an invitation from Trump to join a 'Board of Peace.'

In other developments, Mexico agreed to provide a more predictable annual volume of water from the Rio Grande to the United States. Sheinbaum also announced Mexico would send more aid to Cuba and would cooperate with the U.S. if asked in the Jeffrey Epstein case. She responded to a Spanish politician, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who compared Mexico's government to Cuba's, calling the comparison 'totally false.'
