U.S Foreign Policy Pt. 3


July 20, 2013



1. "Marine reservist kidnapped in Mexico, FBI seeks public's help"

          A marine reservist Armando Torres was kidnapped by armed men in Mexico while on his mission. The FBI now seeks the public’s help in finding more information about the incident. This puts in more emphasis in the international disputes between the US and Mexico.

          Along with the FBI’s endeavor in seeking for assistance for more information, disputes arose in what Mexico can do to help. A marine from the US has just been kidnapped, and the US wants international leaders to help in resolving the issue. These type of incidents, most of the time, depend on the cooperation with international leaders.


2. "4 plead guilty in murder of U.S. immigration agent"

          With a US immigration agent dead, the ringleader Julian Zapata Espinoza with 3 of his men avoided the death penalty with an agreement made. He is part of the Los Zetas Cartel where murders aren’t uncommon. The US still wants to know what Mexico can do to prevent future incidents.

          This case brings up international disputes between the US and Mexico in what the other country could do to bring justice on violent criminals. To avoid future incidents, the US pushed for further change in the justice system when it comes to overseas incidents. The US made a smart move in thinking about long term solutions with US-Mexican issues, such as this.
