US EditionMexican president dismisses report of possible US military mission inside Mexico
President Sheinbaum insists on protecting national sovereignty and rejects unilateral U.S. military intervention despite plans targeting cartels responsible for over 100,000 U.S. deaths annually.
- On Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said unilateral U.S. military action inside Mexico 'won't happen', rejecting intervention and insisting Mexico will not negotiate its sovereignty.
- NBC News reported Monday that U.S. military and intelligence planners began detailed mission planning and early training for an anti‑cartel operation in Mexico, considering drone strikes.
- More than 100,000 Americans die annually from fentanyl, and cartels like the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel are heavily armed, entrenched, and fuel an international black market.
- Amid prior comments in April and February, Sheinbaum said Mexico's government was not consulted on the U.S. designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and stressed cooperation must be coordination, not interventionism.
- U.S. planners say troops would operate under Title 50 status while U.S. forces train for potential ground operations and drones are readied, but analysts warn strikes on suspected smuggling boats risk civilian casualties and diplomatic fallout.
