Trump Says He Asked Mexico to Allow U.S. Military to Fight Cartels

**Trump Says He Asked Mexico to Allow U.S. Military to Fight Cartels**

President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday that he **formally requested permission from Mexico** to allow U.S. military forces to cross the border and help combat powerful drug cartels operating in the country.

Trump said he raised the proposal directly with Mexican President **Claudia Sheinbaum**, but acknowledged that she **rejected the idea**, emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty and its own security strategies. Despite the refusal, Trump defended his stance, arguing that the cartels pose a “direct threat” to U.S. national security and must be confronted with force.

The revelation has stirred diplomatic tension, with critics warning that such a move could severely strain U.S.-Mexico relations and violate international norms. Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters claim it shows his strong commitment to cracking down on drug trafficking and border violence.

The Mexican government has not issued further comment, but officials previously made clear they would not accept foreign military operations on Mexican soil.
