United States proposes joint security operations in Mexico
The United States government has submitted a memorandum to Mexico proposing that American security personnel accompany operations against drug cartels within Mexican territory. According to reports from The New York Times, Washington is seeking to expand bilateral cooperation and increase intelligence sharing to achieve a visible security victory before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026.
The proposal represents a significant escalation in diplomatic pressure, aiming to move toward joint operations. This initiative comes as the Trump administration faces political uncertainty in the U.S. due to inflation and rising fuel prices, prompting a push for decisive action against criminal organizations.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has maintained a firm stance against the proposal, repeatedly rejecting the presence of foreign military or security forces in Mexico. Sheinbaum has stated that such interventions would violate national sovereignty, emphasizing that while Mexico is open to cooperation and intelligence exchange, it will not permit foreign invasions or unauthorized operations on its soil.
