Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum firmly dismissed claims that the U.S. might deploy troops to Mexico to combat drug cartels, stressing that such an intervention will “never happen.” She stated that former U.S. President Donald Trump had previously proposed sending American forces, but Mexico rejected the idea each time. Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico’s sovereignty is “non-negotiable,” though she remains open to intelligence-sharing and coordinated strategies that do not involve foreign military presence. Her remarks followed renewed debate in the U.S. about cross-border operations, prompting Mexico to reiterate its constitutional commitment to controlling its own security operations.
