Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected having U.S. forces enter Mexico after President Trump reportedly directed the military to fight drug cartels even if it meant crossing the U.S. border into Mexico.
“The United States is not going to come to Mexico with the military. We cooperate, we collaborate, but there is not going to be an invasion. That is ruled out, absolutely ruled out,” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said, according to The New York Times.
“It is not part of any agreement, far from it. When it has been brought up, we have always said no,” he added.
The New York Times report also said that the U.S. military is currently drafting plans for how to target cartels that have been labeled foreign terrorist groups.
