Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Tuesday that a unilateral U.S. military action within Mexico “is not going to happen,” despite the country's intensified military efforts in Latin America. She made this statement during her morning press conference when asked about a report by NBC News. The report claimed the U.S. had begun detailed planning for a new anti-cartel mission inside Mexico, including the deployment of troops and intelligence officers. Sheinbaum has repeatedly rejected unilateral U.S. military actions within Mexico, including offers from U.S. President Donald Trump to send troops to help combat cartels. Since early September, U.S. attacks on suspected drug trafficking vessels in the eastern Pacific and the Caribbean have caused dozens of deaths. “That is not going to happen, we have no report that it is going to happen,” Sheinbaum said. “The Trump government accused the victims of being drug traffickers without presenting any proof.”
