Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum declined a proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump to send American troops into Mexico for drug trafficking operations, asserting her country’s sovereignty. She emphasized that U.S. military presence in Mexico is unacceptable. This rejection follows a tense conversation where Trump pressed for further U.S. involvement against drug cartels. Despite increased collaboration on immigration and trade, Sheinbaum's strong stance indicates potential friction between the two nations regarding military intervention in Mexico's internal affairs.
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.
We can work together, but you in your territory and us in ours.
We will never accept the presence of the United States military in our territory.
