Mexico’s president responds to Trump’s latest warning that he could authorize strikes against drug cartels in country
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has again dismissed Donald Trump’s threat of military action against drug cartels inside her country, telling reporters: “It’s not going to happen.”
Sheinbaum made the comments on Tuesday morning in response to the US president’s latest warning that he could authorise strikes in Mexico.
“Would I want strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs,” Trump said on Monday, adding that he’s “not happy with Mexico” and that the US government has drug corridors from Mexico “under major surveillance”.
Sheinbaum said that the Trump administration later clarified it would only intervene with Mexico’s permission.
