US EditionMexican President Firmly Rejects Trump’s Proposal for U.S. Military Intervention Against Cartels
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejects US military intervention proposal despite threats to act against drug cartels, with ongoing cross-border tensions noted by officials.
- On January 3, 2026, Donald Trump, U.S. president, ordered bombing of Caracas and abduction of Nicolas Maduro, President of Venezuela, while accusing Mexico of failing to control cartels and asking Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexican President, `Would you like us to take out the cartels?`
- Washington says enemy groups south of the U.S. border are terrorising nearby areas, and U.S. officials blame Mexico for failing to control powerful drug cartels.
- Trump told Fox News, `We're very friendly with Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexican President, she's a good woman,` and said he asked her `Would you like us to take out the cartels?`
- Such proposals would send U.S. forces into another sovereign country's territory, echoing the Monroe White House deployment in 1817 that preceded Spain ceding Florida.
- Mexico's past includes independence in 1821 and losing Texas, New Mexico and California after the 1840s war, while protests near the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City on January 3, 2026, opposed recent threats.
