May 7 (UPI) -- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected criticism from the U.S. President Donald Trump over her government's anti-drug efforts after Trump suggested the United States could take unilateral action against drug cartels operating in Mexican territory.
"President Trump has said this several times before, but we are acting," Sheinbaum said Thursday during her daily morning press conference.
During a White House event Wednesday, Trump said his administration already had reduced maritime drug trafficking by 97% and would now begin a "land phase" against drug smuggling operations.
"If they are not going to do the job, we will," Trump said.
