Mexico’s president says her government will strengthen communication with the United States after the latest threat by President Donald Trump of military action in her country.
Trump said on Fox News that the United States would “now start hitting land, with regard to the cartels,” going on to accuse drug cartels of running Mexico.
This comes after months of U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats off the coast of Venezuela ahead of the dramatic military operation to oust that country’s president.
Trump has long suggested he would consider strikes in Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has rejected the possibility of unilateral military action in her country, and said after Trump’s latest comments that she has asked her foreign secretary to contact U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and, if necessary, the president himself.
