Mexico has extradited 29 suspected drug lords to the United States. This marks one of the largest handovers of criminals in recent history. The action comes at a time when Mexico is trying to avoid stiff US trade tariffs.

Those extradited reportedly include Rafael Caro Quintero, long sought in the killing of a U.S. narcotics agent.
