"Mexico is a free, independent, sovereign country, and that is above everything else," said Claudia Sheinbaum.

Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed reports of a potential U.S. “soft invasion” to combat cartels as “entirely a movie,” emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty as a free, independent nation.

The Rolling Stone report claims Donald Trump’s incoming administration is considering covert military operations in Mexico, including airstrikes and assassinations of cartel leaders.

While Trump and key officials like Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio support such measures, experts warn they could backfire by boosting cartel recruitment, undermining Mexican sovereignty, and fostering cartel-Mexican authority collaboration.

    Hopefully Mexico won’t announce they found oil or lithium near cartel territories anytime soon.

      Mexico doesn’t have to announce it. The US is more than happy to make the announcement before them. Evidence includes “Yellow Cake”, “WMDs in Iraq”, and the fact that our incoming president lies without even thinking at all times.
