Claudia Sheinbaum Rejects Trump’s Proposal for U.S. Troops in Mexico: A Stand for Sovereignty

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly rejected a proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump to send American troops into Mexico to aid in the fight against drug trafficking. In remarks made to supporters in eastern Mexico, Sheinbaum recounted a recent tense phone call with Trump, during which he suggested that U.S. military assistance could help combat drug cartels. She firmly responded, "No, President Trump," emphasizing that "sovereignty is not for sale."

In a statement following Sheinbaum's comments, White House National Security Council spokesman James Hewitt noted that Trump has been actively collaborating with Mexico to enhance border security. However, he stressed the ongoing threat posed by foreign terrorist organizations and their impact on American communities. The U.S. military's presence at the southern border has expanded recently, following Trump's orders to bolster military involvement in controlling migrant flows and drug trafficking.

Trump's administration has designated various gangs and cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, aiming to restrict their movements and provide additional law enforcement resources. Sheinbaum's rejection of U.S. military intervention indicates a potential conflict in their relationship, despite previous cooperation on immigration and trade issues. "We can work together, but you in your territory and us in ours," she stated, reaffirming Mexico's commitment to its sovereignty.
