Sheinbaum had previously said that she rejected an offer from Trump to send US soldiers to the southern neighboring country in the fight against drug trafficking. “I told him: No, President Trump, our territory is inviolable, our sovereignty is inviolable, our sovereignty is not available,” said Sheinbaum on Saturday at a public event in Mexico City. She referred to a recently published report by the “Wall Street Journal”, in which there was talk of a tense exchange between the two heads of state.
According to Trump, Sheinbaum rejected the offer under the threat of reprisals by non -state armed groups. “President Mexicos is a lovely woman, but she is afraid of the cartels that she can’t even think clearly,” said the US President on Sunday.
At the beginning of his term of office, Trump had the fight for the smuggling of the dangerous drug Fentanyl. The cartels are “terrible people who kill people on the left and right,” said Trump on Sunday and referred to the opioid and the dead, who should be complained about in the USA. The cartels had “made a fortune with the sale of drugs and the destruction of our people,” said Trump, adding: “We lost 300.00 people through fentany and drugs last year.”
Trump accuses the Mexican government not to take enough for illegal migration and drug smuggling to the USA. Most recently, he had increased the pressure on Mexico, among other things with the announcement of customs surcharges.
