WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. Treasury under secretary will visit Mexico City on Thursday to talk with officials and industry representatives about countering illicit financing, drug trafficking and cartel operations, the department said.

It will be the first international trip for John Hurley, the under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, in his role after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate in July.
