Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that she rejected President Trump’s offer to send U.S. troops to Mexico to fight the drug cartels.
She said this at a university this weekend: “It is true… he said, ‘I propose that the US army enter to help.’ And you know what I told him? No, President Trump, our territory is inalienable, our sovereignty is inalienable, our sovereignty is not for sale!”
A statement from the White House said that the U.S. and Mexico are working together but “Mexico must do more to combat these gangs and cartels, and the US stands ready to assist and expand the already close cooperation between our two countries.”
Why do you think that Mexico refuses help to handle the cartels? They clearly don’t “got this.” Could it be as simple an explanation as the fact that the cartels run the Mexican government so no government official could possibly agree to this?
