MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum asked U.S. President Joe Biden to provide all information regarding the arrest earlier this year of legendary drug kingpin Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, according to a report from broadcaster N+ published on Tuesday.

The N+ report said the request was made during a meeting between the two leaders on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Rio de Janiero.
