Palmer Condemns Mexican Military's Takeover of Vulcan Materials Port

Washington, D.C – Following the seizure of the Vulcan Materials port in Mexico's Quintana Roo state by the Mexican military, Rep. Gary Palmer (AL-06) released the following statement:

“This armed takeover of Vulcan’s property shows just how corrupt the Mexican government has become," said Rep. Gary Palmer. 

Palmer continued, “This is a gross abuse by the Mexican government to which President Biden must immediately respond in the strongest possible terms. The unjust takeover of a private American enterprise should cause every American company to reconsider locating in Mexico. If the Mexican government can do this to one company, they can do it to all. The Biden Administration should immediately respond to this assault against an American company and demand the Mexican government withdraw from the Vulcan Materials facility. It is essential the Biden Administration acts to protect America’s interests, or it will risk other actions against American companies.”
