Mexico rejects US military intervention amid Trump’s cartel directive

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has ruled out any US military presence in the country after reports that President Trump authorized military action against drug cartels. Sheinbaum stressed that while both nations cooperate, a US invasion is “absolutely ruled out.”

Trump’s earlier designation of several Mexican cartels as terrorist groups has raised the possibility of military operations on foreign soil. However, Mexico insists it will not allow any breach of its sovereignty, BBC reported.

Despite this, the two countries continue working together to curb drug trafficking and illegal migration, with recent US fentanyl seizures at the border significantly dropping. US officials praise the ongoing collaboration for improving security on both sides.
