Trump says Mexicos Sheinbaum refused to offer us the offer from us out of fear of cartels | Donald Trump News

US President asserts after the Mexican leader says the sovereignty of their country “not for sale”.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, claimed that the Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected an offer to send us troops to the Latin American country because of her fear of drug cartels.

Trump confirmed on Sunday that he had proposed to send us troops to Mexico to combat drug trade, a day after the Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that the sovereignty of her country was “not for sale”.

“If Mexico has help from the cartels, we would be honored to do it and do it. I told her,” said Trump reporters on board the Air Force One.

“It would be an honor to go in and do it. The cartels try to destroy our country.”

When asked whether he was disappointed with Sheinbaum's decision, Trump claimed that she rejected the offer because “she is so afraid of the cartels, she can't walk”.

“I think she is a beautiful woman. The President of Mexico is a beautiful woman, but she is afraid of the cartels that she can't even think clearly,” said Trump, without giving evidence to support his claim.

On Saturday, Sheinbaum informed a public event that she informed the US President that Mexico would never accept the presence of US troops on his territory.

“I told him, no, President Trump, our territory is inviolable, our sovereignty is inviolable, our sovereignty is not for sale,” she said.

Sheinbaum made her comments after Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources that the Trump government put its government under pressure to allow “deeper US military participation” in the fight against Mexican drug cartels.

Trump has often accused Mexico of having not done enough to stop the flow of fentanyl and other illegal drugs across the southern border of the United States.

In one of the first salum of his far -reaching trade war, Trump announced in February that he would limit Mexico and Canada about the tariffs of 25 percent about the failure to exist against the influx of drugs and and documented migrants.

Trump then announced that he would suspend the tariffs for goods that fall as part of the agreement on the contract for the USA and Mexico Canada, the three-way free trade agreement, which his first government negotiated on the successor of the North American free trade agreement.
