Mexico's Sheinbaum rebuffs Trump intervention push, cites US drug demand

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly pushed back against US President Trump's repeated calls for military intervention in Mexico to combat drug cartels, arguing that high US drug consumption makes such action untenable. This marks a sharp rhetorical escalation in bilateral tensions, with Mexico rejecting any notion of US sovereignty violations. The exchange signals deteriorating US-Mexico relations and raises the risk of trade or security policy friction.
