"Sheinbaum has responded to Trump's threats with a firm insistence on Mexican sovereignty. We categorically reject intervention in the internal matters of other countries, Sheinbaum said in comments to the media on Monday. It is necessary to reaffirm that, in Mexico, the people rule and that we are a free and sovereign country, she added. Cooperation, yes; subordination and intervention, no."
"The attack on Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro over the weekend have sent shockwaves across Latin America, where many countries fear a return to a period of overt United States interventionism. Those fears are particularly prominent in Mexico, the US's neighbour and longtime ally. Trump suggested that the US could carry out military strikes on Mexican territory in the name of combating drug traffickers."
President Claudia Sheinbaum rejects intervention in the internal affairs of other countries and affirms that Mexico is free, sovereign, and governed by its people. Sheinbaum insists on cooperation with the United States while rejecting subordination and external intervention. The attack on Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro have raised fears across Latin America of a return to overt United States interventionism.

Rhetoric suggesting military action tied to drug trafficking has heightened tensions.
