‘We are not subordinate’: Claudia Sheinbaum warns U.S. against drone-bombing Mexico
Global News
This comes after a report claimed Trump's administration is considering drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico to combat trafficking across the shared border.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the country would categorically reject any unilateral U.S. military action in Mexico and warned that such measures “would not resolve anything” amid threats from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to use drone strikes against drug cartels.
Sheinbaum spoke to reporters on April 8 during a daily news conference and answered questions about an NBC News report that claimed Trump’s administration is considering drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico to combat trafficking across the shared border.
“The people of Mexico will not, under any circumstances, accept intervention, interference, or any other act from abroad,” Sheinbaum told reporters.
On Tuesday, NBC News cited six current and former U.S. military, law enforcement and intelligence officials with knowledge of the matter. It said officials were saying that the Trump administration was weighing drone strikes in Mexico “to combat criminal gangs trafficking narcotics across the southern border,” adding that no decision had been made.
Sheinbaum stated that the U.S. and Mexico have a good ongoing dialogue on security issues and that she did not think the U.S. would pursue such unilateral action.
In February, Sheinbaum said that Mexico will not tolerate an “invasion” of its national sovereignty after the Trump administration moved to formally designate eight Latin American crime organizations as “foreign terrorist organizations.”
“This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty,” Sheinbaum said during her daily press briefing on Feb. 20. “With Mexico it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion.”
“We want to be clear given this designation that we don’t negotiate our sovereignty,” Sheinbaum added. “There can be no interference or subordination.
