The Mexican government has firmly rejected reports of a proposed U.S. military intervention on Mexican soil to combat drug cartels. Mexican President and the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs have stated that U.S. forces crossing the border for such operations are unwelcome and that each country should address violence and insecurity within its own jurisdiction. This stance directly challenges former President Donald Trump's reported plan to deploy U.S. special forces against Mexican cartels. Experts and commentators emphasize that any unilateral U.S. military action without Mexico's consent would undermine existing security agreements and broader bilateral cooperation. Meanwhile, Russian official Dmitry Medvedev accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of training Mexican drug traffickers in drone delivery techniques to the U.S., suggesting that Trump should send special forces to Kyiv to eliminate these "narco-mercenaries," a claim not corroborated by Mexican or U.S. authorities. The situation highlights tensions between U.S. efforts to combat cross-border drug trafficking and Mexico's insistence on maintaining strategic autonomy and sovereignty over its internal security matters.

Una cosa parece clara: si Estados Unidos interviene militarmente contra los cárteles sin el consentimiento y la cooperación de México, naufragará cualquier acuerdo de seguridad o de otros ámbitos. #Opinión de @RaulRodriguezC ✍️ https://t.co/bNrwXXUgEV
