El Salvador's Bukele posts Mexico 'clarification' over cocaine plane row
Saturday, 12 July 2025 () Salvadoran leader Nayib Bukele said Friday he appreciated Mexico's "clarification" that a cocaine-packed plane it intercepted did not in fact originate in El Salvador, a claim that had hiked diplomatic tensions between the nations. Earlier in the week, Mexico's security chief said authorities had detected a small plane "originating in El Salvador" carrying 428 kilos (940 pounds) of cocaine.
