President Claudia Sheinbaum reacted to the statements of the next U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Ronald 'Ron' Johnson, who mentioned the possibility of U.S. bombings against drug trafficking on Mexican soil. In her morning conference, Sheinbaum stated that this option "is not on the table, nor on the chair, nor on the floor, nor on any side."
In the U.S. Senate, Johnson had indicated that "everything is on the table," including military actions against Mexican cartels, which raised concerns in Mexico. In response, the leader affirmed they do not agree with that stance and would not consider bombings on their territory.
Sheinbaum assured that, although there will be collaboration and coordination with the U.S. ambassador, it is essential to respect Mexico's sovereignty. She emphasized the importance of both nations acting together against drug trafficking, recalling that the distribution of narcotics in the United States is a problem that must be addressed from that country.
Sheinbaum's position reaffirms the idea that the fight against drug trafficking must be approached jointly and with respect for each nation's sovereignty. She stressed that collaboration between Mexico and the United States is based on mutual respect and coordinated actions within a framework of sovereignty.
