MEXICO CITY — President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that Mexico has asked the United States for evidence that shots were fired from the Mexican side of the border at American personnel. “We asked for all the evidence because we have no evidence,” she said at her morning news conference. She said no one in the National Guard, the Army, or the Navy had detected such fire. Reuters reported the remarks.

The comments answered Ambassador Ronald Johnson. He wrote on Sunday that shots had been fired at U.S. Coast Guard personnel where the Mexican state of Tamaulipas meets Texas, and that the embassy was coordinating with Mexican forces. Mexico had announced that day a deployment of Army and National Guard troops on that stretch of the border. Sheinbaum said a mirror operation was already underway so the incident, if it happened, would not be repeated.

We asked for all the evidence because we have no evidence.
