‘There will be no invasion.’ Sheinbaum confident Washington won’t strike cartels in Mexico
Mexico City – President Claudia Sheinbaum, US military forces will not hit Mexico, President Trump secretly directed the Pentagon to the Latin American drug cartels, reporting on Friday.
“There will be no invasion: this was rejected, he was absolutely rejected,” he said. “The United States will not come to Mexico with troops.”
The media accounts caused by the New York Times revived nationalist fears in a nation that has endured US invasions and land closure for years – for more than a century.
Sheinbaum said that Mexico was informed that Trump gave such an order, but “this has nothing to do with Mexico territory”.
The Mexican leader repeated his mantle stating that he was “cooperating and cooperating with his northern neighbor drug smuggling and other bilateral problems, but rejected the US military presence or strikes to Mexico territory.
In May, Sheinbaum said Trump rejected his proposal in one of many phone calls between the two leaders directly for the US military assistance.
“We can share information, but we will never accept the existence of the United States army on our lands, shein Sheinbaum said in May Trump. “Our region cannot be transferred; sovereignty cannot be transferred.”
It is unclear which countries can be a target for the US operation, but in an interview on Thursday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as cartels as well as cartels Venezuela, Guatemala and Ecuador.
Rubio said that cartels are no longer a law enforcement problem, but a national security problem. “We cannot continue to treat these men like local street gangs,” he said. “In some cases, terrorists have similar weapons.”
In Mexico, the fear that US forces may hit Mexico has been growing since the Trump administration has officially labeled the six Mexican cartel as foreign terrorist organizations. Many of Mexico see it as a start to unilaterally unilateral Pentagon attacks on the cartel targets in question.
Trump is free of Shainbaum, but condemned what he claimed to be a “unbearable alliance ında between the Mexican government and the organized crime.
Sheinbaum claimed that the organized crime had penetrated the Mexican government and controlled the large areas of Mexican territory.
Trump has applied 25% tariff from Mexico, the leading trading partner of Washington, where the authorities aim to force the smuggling of the synthetic opioid accused for tens of thousands of deaths in the United States.
The Trump administration also accelerated the US surveillance flights on and near Mexico, and gathered US troops on the southwest border to destroy drug trafficking and unauthorized migration.
But Mexico is not the only nation in which Pentagon can think of stunning drug cartels. Venezuela can also find Washington’s collection of swords against the South American country.
On Thursday, the Trump administration said that the current award for $ 50 million-$ 50 million for the information that led to the arrest and conviction of Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro, who has been facing a long-enemy on charges of drug trafficking in the United States.
The US State Department calls Maduro as the “leader of Los Soles, a Venezuela -based Cartel De Los Soles, labeled by a terrorist group of Trump administration.
Washington also accused Maduro for connections to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel among the crime unions labeled by a foreign terrorist organization.
On Friday, Sheinbaum told reporters that Mexican officials had no evidence that connects Maduro to the Sinaloa mafia.
Venezuela officials rejected the US’s accusations against Maduro as “political propaganda ..
Maduro returned to office in January after he declared victory in the 2024 election that critics called fraudulent and rejected widely by the international community. Washington does not recognize Maduro as the president of Venezuela.
