The Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, addressed concerns about safety in Mexico during a press conference about two small vessels carrying humanitarian aid to Cuba that have gone missing after departing Isla Mujeres. The Mexican Navy is searching for the missing vessels, which were carrying nine crew members of mixed nationalities. She also addressed the issue of US troops briefly entering Mexican territory in Nogales while installing barbed wire, but they withdrew when asked. She emphasized that Mexico is safe to visit and that an 8.6% increase in international tourist numbers were recorded in January compared to the same period last year. The president also mentioned the ongoing search for missing aid boats and an incident at Mexico's northern border where U.S. soldiers crossed the border.
