Mexico seeks stronger US ties after Trump threat against cartels
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday her government wanted closer security coordination with the United States after Donald Trump threatened ground attacks against drug
cartels.
Sheinbaum told reporters she asked her foreign minister to contact US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and, if needed, speak directly with Trump to strengthen cooperation under the bilateral security framework.
Trump earlier said in a Fox News interview that land attacks against cartels would follow recent US maritime operations in the Pacific and Caribbean, without specifying where or when.
Mexico extradited dozens of cartel leaders to the US in 2025 and reinforced border cooperation, but Sheinbaum has repeatedly voiced opposition to any military intervention from outside.
She said Mexico maintains a "security understanding" with Washington and that Rubio had praised the "good coordination" on security between the two countries, reports BSS.
