“The people and the strength of Mexico,” the head of the Executive Branch responded from the National Palace to a question at her usual press conference about who can limit Trump when he doesn’t even respect his own country’s laws.

In that regard, the president emphasized that for this reason, Mexico must remain united and with a clear vision, because “that vision is established by our Constitution, and the defense of our sovereignty must be part of everyone’s position.”

“There are some who don’t, who seek external intervention to strengthen themselves, but that leads nowhere. Those who think that by strengthening themselves abroad they will have a greater presence with the people are mistaken,” she maintained, alluding to certain sectors of the opposition.

Furthermore, the president asserted that she does not see any risk of a US intervention in Mexico.

Remembering that Trump has repeatedly insisted on allowing the U.S. military to enter Mexico, supposedly to combat drug trafficking, Sheinbaum emphasized that her government has firmly rejected this proposal, arguing that it defends the country’s sovereignty and, moreover, that it is unnecessary.

“The problem of insecurity and violence in Mexico stemming from organized crime cannot be solved through intervention. We have proposed a comprehensive strategy that addresses the root causes and promotes zero impunity, focusing on four key areas,” she stated.
