MEXICAN President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Saturday that she rejected United States President Donald Trump’s proposals to send US troops into Mexico to help her administration fight drug trafficking.
Her remarks to supporters in eastern Mexico came in response to a Wall Street Journal article published the day before, describing a tense phone call last month in which President Trump reportedly pressured her to accept a bigger role for the US military in combating drug cartels in Mexico.
“He said, ‘How can we help you fight drug trafficking? I propose that the US military come in and help you.’ And you know what I said to him? ‘No, President Trump’.”
