Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum made it clear on Tuesday that she will not accept any form of military intervention by the United States in Mexico. Speaking during a press briefing, Sheinbaum addressed concerns about Washington’s potential plans to strike Mexican drug cartels using drones, stating that such measures "wouldn't resolve anything."

Sheinbaum emphasized that a military approach would not contribute to solving the issue and expressed confidence that such an action would not occur, noting that communication between US and Mexican authorities remains active. "We are in contact, and I don’t believe such an operation will take place," she said, seeking to downplay speculation about heightened cross-border tension.

The statement comes in response to rising discussions within the United States about using drone strikes to target drug cartels operating in Mexican territory. While such proposals have been floated by American officials, Sheinbaum’s firm rejection marks a definitive stance from the Mexican administration regarding sovereignty and diplomatic cooperation.

Sheinbaum also addressed trade concerns during the press conference. As discussions continue over tariff policies between the two countries, she reaffirmed that her administration prefers dialogue over immediate retaliatory measures. “We will prioritize dialogue,” she said, underscoring her government’s diplomatic approach to both economic and security challenges in the bilateral relationship.

Her comments appear aimed at de-escalating tensions on multiple fronts, reaffirming Mexico’s commitment to maintaining constructive relations with its northern neighbor. By rejecting the military option and encouraging communication, Sheinbaum signaled a willingness to collaborate while protecting national sovereignty.

The remarks follow growing scrutiny of Mexico’s handling of organized crime and the impact of drug trafficking on regional stability. As security and economic concerns intersect, Sheinbaum’s administration continues to walk a careful line—asserting independence while maintaining cooperation with the United States.
