Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said she loved Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance. The famous Puerto Rican singer sang in Spanish and shared a message about love being stronger than hate. His show included a football that said "Together, We are America," which means all countries in North, Central, and South America are part of "America," not just the United States. Bad Bunny's performance had Mexican mariachi musicians, tacos, and a Mexican boxer, showing how important Mexican culture is. He also said "Seguimos aquí" which means "We're still here" in Spanish, celebrating Latino people living in the United States.
President Sheinbaum also talked about a serious problem: guns and bullets made in the United States are being used by dangerous criminals in Mexico. A newspaper found out that ammunition from a U.S. Army factory is being used by drug cartels to hurt people. Mexico and the United States are working together to stop weapons from crossing the border illegally. Last year, they started a program called "Mission Firewall" to help solve this problem. Both countries need to work as a team to keep people safe.
