Sheinbaum says she rejected Trump’s offer to send us troops to Mexico military news

The Mexican President says she said Donald Trump that Mexico “will never accept the presence of the US Army in our territory”.

The Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that she rejected an offer from her counterpart Donald Trump to send us troops to Mexico to combat drug trafficking.

Sheinbaum at a public event on Saturday said that Trump asked her during a call how he could help to fight organized crimes and suggested sending us troops.

The Mexican leader said she declined and said Trump: “We will never accept the presence of the US Army in our territory.”

“I said to him:” No, President Trump, our territory is inviolable, our sovereignty is inviolable, our sovereignty is not for sale, “said Sheinbaum.

Her comments come a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump put Mexico under pressure to allow “deeper US military participation” in the fight against drug cartels.

Coving unnamed people who were familiar with the matter, the news agency said “tension” during a call between the two leaders on April 16, when Trump “urged the US armed forces to play a leading role in combating Mexican drug gangs, producing and smuggling fentanyl”.

Since taking office in January, Trump has repeatedly beaten Canada in Mexico and the other neighbors of the United States.

He has accused the two countries of having approved illegal drugs, especially fentanyl, to flow across their borders to the United States.

The management of Trump also has the advance of imposing Mexican and Canadian goods, the fentanyl trade, strong tariffs.

On Saturday, Sheinbaum said that she offered to work with the United States during her conversations with Trump, also through greater exchange of information.

At the same time, the Mexican President said that she had asked Trump to stop the cross -border arms trade, which contributed to a wave of violence that killed more than 450,000 in Mexico in Mexico for almost two decades.

She added that Trump placed an order on Friday to “ensure that everything necessary is available to prevent weapons from entering our country”.

A spokesman for the US National Security Council informed the Reuters news agency that Trump “Crystal was clear that Mexico had to do more to combat them and cartels, and the United States are ready to support and expand the close cooperation between our two countries”.

The spokesman added that Trump had worked closely with Sheinbaum to achieve the “safest southwest border in history”.

“Danger of foreign terrorist organizations continue to threaten our common security and the drugs and the crimes they spread, threaten American communities across the country,” said the spokesman.

In the meantime, Trump continues to progress further, despite several legal challenges against his Hardline Anti immigration policy.

The US Department of Defense said at the beginning of this week that it described a second route on the Mexico border as a military zone for enforcing immigration laws.

The latest area is in the US state of Texas and is bound to the Fort Bliss Army Base in El Paso.

As the first zone founded in New Mexico last month, the military personnel are authorized to worry about migrants who exceed the border irregularly until they are transferred to the civilian authorities of the US Ministry of Homeland Protection.
