Trump Offers Troops To CRUSH Mexico Cartels |‘No Foreign Boots Here,’ Says Mexican Prez Sheinbaum

President Trump has offered to deploy U.S. troops into Mexico to crush powerful drug cartels, calling them “evil” and accusing them of killing Americans while raking in billions. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum flatly rejected the offer, citing national sovereignty and warning no foreign military will step into Mexico. Trump called Sheinbaum “too afraid” and said if Mexico won’t act, the U.S. may do it alone. The standoff escalates tensions as fentanyl deaths surge and Trump’s rhetoric grows more aggressive ahead of the 2024 election cycle. #Trump #Mexico #DrugCartels #Sheinbaum #FentanylCrisis #USMexicoRelations #BorderSecurity #TrumpSpeech #CartelWar #NarcoState #Sovereignty #TrumpVsCartels #MilitaryIntervention #BreakingNews #FentanylDeaths #USPolitics #ClaudiaSheinbaum #TrumpPolicy #DrugWar #DEA #SecurityCrisis #Narcos #CartelViolence #Trump2024 #MilitaryAction #WarOnDrugs #MexicoRejectsTrump #ForeignPolicy #TrumpThreat #USMexicoStandoff Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.125~
