The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, revealed that during a phone conversation, President Trump suggested the intervention of the United States Army on Mexican territory to combat drug trafficking. In response, Sheinbaum rejected this proposal, emphasizing the importance of sovereignty and cooperation without subordination.
As a show of cooperation, President Trump issued an order to prevent the flow of weapons from the United States to Mexico, acknowledging the need to work together in the fight against the cartels. Sheinbaum highlighted the importance of preventing weapons from the U.S. from strengthening criminal groups in Mexico.
The Mexican president made it clear that Mexico is afraid of the cartels but reaffirmed the sovereignty and inviolability of its territory. Sheinbaum expressed willingness to collaborate in various areas, including combating arms trafficking, though she emphasized that the presence of U.S. military personnel in her country would not be allowed.
Amid the controversy, Sheinbaum stressed that it is possible to work together, sharing information and resources, while always respecting each nation's autonomy. The president thanked the intent to help Mexico but pointed out that the presence of foreign military is not an option.
