Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly stated that she rules out any US military intervention to combat drug cartels in Mexico. This declaration came after a productive conversation she had with US President Donald Trump on Monday. The two leaders discussed critical issues related to security and drug trafficking during their call.
Emphasis on Sovereignty and Collaboration
In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum highlighted the importance of respecting Mexico's sovereignty. She made it clear that any future statements from the US suggesting military action would prompt her to seek another call to address the matter directly. She emphasized that Mexico continues to collaborate with the United States, but strictly within the framework of its own sovereign rights.
Details of the Discussion
Earlier on Monday, Sheinbaum provided more insights into the conversation with President Trump. She noted that the discussion focused on security matters, with a strong emphasis on maintaining respect for Mexico's sovereignty. This approach underscores Mexico's commitment to handling its internal affairs without external military interference.
Sheinbaum's stance reflects a broader policy of seeking diplomatic and cooperative solutions to cross-border security challenges. By ruling out military intervention, she aims to preserve national autonomy while addressing the complex issue of drug cartels through bilateral efforts.
