Mexico rejects unilateral US military action after report US is weighing strikes

9/4/2025 6:11

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that her nation would categorically reject any unilateral U.S. military in Mexico and that such military action "would not resolve anything."



Sheinbaum's comments during her regular morning press conference came in response to questions about an NBC News report that President Donald Trump's administration is considering drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico to combat trafficking across the shared border.



"The people of Mexico will not, under any circumstances, accept intervention, interference, or any other act from abroad," Sheinbaum said.



Officials from the Trump administration have repeatedly refused in recent months to rule out strikes in Mexico. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has previously said that all options will be on the table when asked about the potential use of strikes inside Mexico.
