"Sheinbaum has consistently countered the U.S. president's threats. However, Trump's rhetoric has escalated as he intensifies his aggressive foreign policy with extrajudicial attacks on alleged drug boats and flexes his muscles in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean. These operations have put him at odds with the government of Gustavo Petro in Colombia and have further strained relations with Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela."
"Ever since Trump first mentioned sending troops to Mexico during his second presidential campaign, the country has been preparing to counter every hint of interference in its security policy. Even after announcing his intention to seek reelection in 2024, the Republican has repeatedly stated that, if necessary, he would be prepared to send the U.S. military across the border to combat drug cartels."
Mexico refuses U.S. military operations on its soil to combat drug cartels, prioritizing national sovereignty while permitting intelligence exchanges and cooperative measures. President Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly rejected offers of foreign troops and invoked historical incursions to justify a firm stance. The Mexican government has been preparing countermeasures against any perceived interference in its security policies. U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated rhetoric and unilateral actions, including extrajudicial strikes on alleged drug boats and deployments in the Pacific and Caribbean, which have strained relations with Colombia and Venezuela. Sheinbaum emphasizes sovereignty, cooperation, and collaboration as the guiding approach.
