Mexico City – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum strongly rejected threats made by US President Donald Trump against her country to stop drug trafficking by local cartels. Sheinbaum emphasized that US attacks on Mexican territory will not happen.

“That will not happen,” stated Sheinbaum in a recent press conference.

This statement was made by Sheinbaum in response to Trump’s latest warning, in which he said he would do “whatever we have to do,” including attacks on Mexican territory, which is an economic partner and key US ally.

“We do not want intervention by any foreign government. There is cooperation and there is coordination, but not subordination,” she said.

Referring to the 19th century war, Sheinbaum stated that “the last time the United States came to intervene in Mexico, they seized half of its territory.”

“We cannot allow intervention,” she emphasized again.

The threat of attacks against Mexico was made by Trump when speaking to journalists. The US President said he would authorize attacks against Mexico if deemed necessary.

“Would I launch attacks in Mexico to stop drugs? I have no problem with that. Whatever we have to do to stop drugs,” he said.

“I’m not saying I would do it, but I would be proud to do it. Because we would save millions of lives by doing so,” said Trump.

This statement was made by Trump as the US deployed aircraft carriers and other important military assets near Venezuela to pressure President Nicolas Maduro, who the US accuses of being a drug cartel leader. Maduro strongly denies these accusations.

US military forces have blown up more than 20 vessels suspected of drug smuggling, resulting in at least 83 deaths total. So far, no evidence has been presented to support the Pentagon’s claim that the vessels attacked in the Caribbean and off the Pacific coast were smuggling drugs and threatening the US.
