Vulcan Materials, a U.S.-based construction firm, says that armed Mexican forces took over its marine terminal in southeast Mexico.
Former Trump intelligence official Cliff Sims tweeted a video Saturday of the alleged illegal seizure earlier this month.
"This is insane," he wrote in the post, which shows Mexican military officials, police officers and others entering the facility.

In a letter Thursday to Esteban Moctezuma, Mexico's ambassador to the U.S., Vulcan Chairman and CEO J. Thomas Hill said the seizure that occurred early in the morning of March 14 was "illegal."
He said the Mexican company CEMEX joined with government forces to enter Vulcan's private property, which they "continue to illegally occupy."
Former Trump National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe also condemned the apparent seizure.
"Getting pretty used to the Biden administration letting China and Russia kick sand in our faces (covid and fentanyl deaths, spy balloons, taking down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper)—but now Mexico, too?," he tweeted Saturday. "The Biden administration needs to engage immediately to defend a U.S. company and to protect U.S. interests. This is the only deep water port on the Yucatán Peninsula. Significant geopolitical and economic implications."
The Mexican government has not responded to requests for comment from Fox News Digital or Bloomberg.
Choices:
Stolen in mexico or here by Biden.................
The Vulcans might decide its not logical to continue trading with us at all.
Looks like Cemex has a new terminal. So Joe, what are you going to do about this?
“Getting pretty used to the Biden administration letting China and Russia kick sand in our faces (covid and fentanyl deaths, spy balloons, taking down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper)—but now Mexico, too?” Makes logical sense. The world sees Joe as a paper tiger.
The world sees Joe as toilet paper......................
I hope that people understand that Mexican based Cemex has quarries, aggregate and concrete plants all over the southern US.
Monster plants in Arizona for example.
The cartels needed a seaport.
So TIT for TAT?
This guy is surprised?

Works for me. I think he should sue them in US courts as well as Mexican courts. Take his judgment against US operating arms of the overall parent company.
Cemex??
Joe’s not going to do anything about it because his and Hunters oligarch business partners like Carlos Slim Helu operate the board of Cemex.

I’m guessing that he’ll be contacting CEMEX and asking for his customary 10%.
He might also send them a souvenir mug.
More like the CCP does.

Bingo! See post 13
If you had our President you confiscate anything you can.
They know Biden will not do anything................
A giant limestone quarry 5 miles south of playa Del Carmen. Tulum is to the south. Mexico wants to develop it for tourism and I don’t blame them. Anyway, all of this lime stone is being mined out and shipped to the United States. This is just another crap globalist NAFTA company that should be mining limestone here in America. If there’s one thing America has, it’s gigantic miles deep and hundreds of miles wide swaths of limestone.
This sounds like a Wall Street problem to me.
