Claudia Sheinbaum rejects claims of US support for military intervention in Mexico
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has rejected reports suggesting widespread public support for United States military intervention in Mexico to combat drug cartels. Sheinbaum characterized claims circulated by the US media outlet NewsNation—which cited a purported State Department document—as ‘absurd’ and ‘unfounded.’ The President argued that such narratives may be intended to influence the upcoming US elections by using Mexico as a political factor.
To counter these claims, Sheinbaum presented survey data indicating that 91 percent of Mexicans reject the entry of foreign troops into the country. The data shows that 50 percent of respondents favor bilateral cooperation without subordination, while 33 percent believe crime fighting should be the exclusive responsibility of Mexican forces. Only 9 percent of those surveyed would support direct US military operations within Mexican territory.
Separately, the Mexican Senate is preparing to receive testimonies from various cabinet members and state secretaries following the President’s second government report. This includes officials from the Ministries of Economy, Energy, Finance, Infrastructure, Labor, and Tourism, who will detail the administration’s progress on economic stability, energy sovereignty, and fiscal responsibility.
