LONDON – Mexico's president is ruling out the idea of joint U.S. and Mexican military operations targeting drug violence along the border.
But Felipe Calderon says he's interested in closer cooperation between the neighboring countries.
He also tells reporters he'd like the U.S. to help Mexican law enforcement by sharing intelligence on drugs traffickers, as well as providing high-tech surveillance equipment.
