US EditionMexico’s Sheinbaum says she had a ‘good conversation’ with Trump on security, drugs
Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico's sovereignty and progress on reducing fentanyl trafficking, rejecting all U.S. military intervention offers during security talks with Trump.
- On Jan 12, in Mexico City, President Claudia Sheinbaum said she had a very good conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump on security and reducing drug trafficking.
- Following a week of escalatory remarks, the call followed Sheinbaum's Friday request for dialogue after Trump said on Fox News that 97% of drugs come by water and suggested striking land targets against drug cartels.
- Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico's sovereignty and told Trump U.S. military forces are unnecessary, which he understood despite still insisting they could help if asked.
- They agreed to continue working together on security, and Mexico shared results including a significant drop in homicides and falling U.S. fentanyl seizures and overdose deaths.
- In the broader context, experts see U.S. intervention as unlikely because Mexico is cooperating and a critical economic partner, but analysts expect Trump to maintain pressure with strong rhetoric.
