Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected the idea of U.S. troops entering Mexico, emphasizing her government's commitment to national sovereignty. This statement followed the U.S. military's operation in Caracas, Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who were then flown to New York to face federal charges. Sheinbaum condemned intervention in other countries' internal affairs, referencing Latin America's history. Her remarks also came after President Trump stated that cartels are "running Mexico" and suggested the U.S. might need to intervene. Sheinbaum affirmed that Mexico is cooperating with the U.S. to combat drug trafficking and organized crime, but opposes any form of invasion.
