Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has refuted claims that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump proposed military intervention in Mexico to combat drug cartels. Sheinbaum clarified that while Trump has expressed intentions to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, he did not suggest any form of intervention during their discussions.
Clarifying Misconceptions
In a recent statement, Sheinbaum addressed the spread of misinformation regarding U.S. intentions toward Mexico's internal security matters. She emphasized that the narrative suggesting Trump proposed intervention is unfounded and constitutes "fake news." Sheinbaum reiterated Mexico's commitment to maintaining its sovereignty and stated that any collaboration with the United States would be based on mutual respect and non-intervention.
Focus on Bilateral Cooperation
Sheinbaum highlighted plans to enhance collaboration with the United States in key areas such as migration, security, and trade. She underscored the importance of addressing shared challenges through joint efforts, particularly in managing migration flows, combating organized crime, and strengthening economic ties. The President expressed optimism that through constructive dialogue, both nations can develop effective strategies that respect each country's sovereignty while promoting regional stability.
