The president of Mexico rejected the proposal to send U.S. troops against criminal groups on Mexican territory. Donald Trump claimed that the president is afraid of the cartels. According to The Wall Street Journal, in a phone call between Trump and President Claudia Sheinbaum, there was tension when the suggestion of U.S. military intervention was made, to which Sheinbaum opposed.
The president has shown a pragmatic approach and firmness when dealing with the White House, which disregards legal principles such as due process. Despite criticisms, Sheinbaum has collaborated with the United States and handed over 29 high-profile criminals. Her strategy in the fight against crime has been bold, recognizing the challenges and complexity of the scenario.
The interference of the United States and insults towards Mexico should not be normalized. The proposal to send U.S. troops to Mexican soil and Trump's statements are unacceptable. This gesture threatens the sovereignty of the country and adds to the historical grievances of the United States towards Mexico. Foreign military action in Mexico is unacceptable.
It is essential not to overlook Trump's words, which reflect a lack of diplomacy and verbal aggression. President Sheinbaum has shown courage and determination in difficult decisions, without yielding to external pressures. Mexico rejects any attempt of interference in its internal affairs and firmly defends its sovereignty.
