BREAKING: 🇲🇽 President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum:

“We will not allow the entry of U.S. forces onto Mexican soil. If the United States government wants to help, it should help by stopping the flow of weapons into Mexico and addressing consumption within its own territory. But in Mexico, decisions about our security are made by us. We have a signed understanding with the U.S. government. There is coordination, there is collaboration, and information is shared — but without subordination.”

Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico, has delivered a firm message regarding national sovereignty and security cooperation with the United States.
Speaking on the issue of foreign military involvement, Sheinbaum made it clear that Mexico will not permit U.S. forces to operate on Mexican soil.
According to the Mexican president:
“We will not allow the entry of U.S. forces onto Mexican soil. If the United States government wants to help, it should help by stopping the flow of weapons into Mexico and addressing consumption within its own territory.”
She emphasized that security decisions in Mexico will always remain under Mexico’s authority, stressing that while cooperation with the United States exists, it will never come at the cost of Mexico’s independence.
Sheinbaum explained that both countries already maintain agreements that allow coordination, collaboration, and intelligence sharing, but she underscored an important principle:
➡️ Cooperation without subordination.
The statement comes amid ongoing debates about cross-border security, drug trafficking, and the role the United States should play in addressing violence linked to cartels. Mexican officials have repeatedly argued that the flow of weapons from the U.S. and drug demand north of the border are key drivers of the crisis.
With this declaration, President Sheinbaum is drawing a clear line on sovereignty, signaling that while Mexico is open to partnership, foreign troops operating inside the country are off the table.
🌎 The announcement is already sparking strong reactions across political circles in both Mexico and the United States.
What do you think — should the U.S. play a larger role in Mexico’s security, or should Mexico handle it entirely on its own? 👇
