Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum recently rejected President Trump’s proposal to deploy US troops for a crackdown on cartels in Mexico.
During a phone call, Trump offered military assistance to combat the production of fentanyl, a deadly opioid trafficked by Mexican cartels using chemicals from China.
- Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico’s sovereignty and rejected foreign military presence.
- The Wall Street Journal reported the call, which Sheinbaum confirmed as accurate but incomplete.
Meanwhile, both countries have deployed troops along the border and agreed to exchange intelligence.
