Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to introduce American military assistance in the fight against drug trafficking in Mexico. During a speech, Sheinbaum conveyed the essence of her conversation with Trump, claiming her administration values sovereignty and will not compromise it. Despite ongoing discussions about U.S.-Mexico cooperation on security, U.S. officials assert that Mexico must enhance its efforts against drug cartels, while emphasizing a collaborative approach to combat shared security threats arising from drug trafficking and organized crime.
"He said, 'How can we help you fight drug trafficking? I propose that the United States military come in and help you.' And you know what I said to him? 'No, President Trump.'"
"Sovereignty is not for sale. Sovereignty is loved and defended."
"Dangerous Foreign Terrorist Organizations, however, continue to threaten our shared security and the drugs and crime they spread threaten American communities across the country."
"The President has been crystal clear that Mexico must do more to combat these gangs and cartels and the United States stands ready to assist and expand the already close cooperation between our two countries."
