Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly rejected an offer from U.S. President Donald Trump to deploy U.S. military help into Mexico to combat drug cartels. Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico's sovereignty, stating that the country would not allow foreign military presence on its soil, asserting that 'sovereignty is not for sale.' Trump criticized Sheinbaum, suggesting that her refusal stemmed from fear of the cartels.

Sheinbaum has expressed gratitude towards Trump for announcing stringent measures against the illegal trafficking of arms from the U.S. into Mexico. This acknowledgment comes amidst ongoing tensions between the two nations over drug and arms trafficking issues.

Trump has also indicated that the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) might be renegotiated or terminated in 2026, citing non-compliance by Mexico and Canada. Sheinbaum responded by asserting that there are no signs that the USMCA will be discontinued, emphasizing the benefits it has brought to all three countries.

In response to Trump's comments about the USMCA, Sheinbaum highlighted Mexico's readiness to defend the agreement. She noted ongoing discussions with U.S. and Canadian officials to ensure the continuation of the treaty, which she described as crucial for economic integration among the three nations.
