The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, reiterated on Wednesday that it is 'absolutely false' that drug cartels govern the country, as has been repeatedly claimed by U.S. President Donald Trump. She emphasized that in Mexico, the people rule and no one else. Sheinbaum also insisted that the United States must 'do its part' in the fight against drug trafficking and underscored her rejection of any Washington intervention in the country. She mentioned that President Trump has proposed sending U.S. military personnel to Mexico for joint operations, but she has firmly declined, stating that Mexico is a free, independent, and sovereign nation.
