Mexico's Leader Rejects U.S. Military Operations Against Drug Cartels
Addressing reporters during her daily briefing, Sheinbaum declared foreign forces would be barred from conducting operations on Mexican territory, invoking national sovereignty as the paramount consideration.
Her statements directly countered U.S. President Donald Trump's recurring suggestions of launching military strikes against Mexican drug trafficking organizations. Sheinbaum contended such measures were redundant given existing security cooperation frameworks between both nations.
"We are a sovereign nation and will not accept foreign intervention," Sheinbaum said, underscoring the importance of mutual respect in U.S.-Mexico relations.
While acknowledging policy disagreements, Sheinbaum affirmed her administration's dedication to preserving robust diplomatic ties with Washington.
"We may not agree on everything, but we always seek the best possible cooperation between our nations," she added.
The exchange highlights escalating tensions over cross-border security strategy as Trump advocates aggressive tactics against cartels responsible for fentanyl trafficking into the United States, while Mexico City insists on maintaining territorial integrity and rejecting unilateral military intervention.
