“Mexico’s president on Tuesday ruled out allowing US strikes against cartels on Mexican soil, a day after President Donald Trump said he was willing to do whatever it takes to stop drugs entering the United States. ‘It’s not going to happen,’ President Claudia Sheinbaum said. … Sheinbaum said she had given this message to Trump and to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on previous occasions and that they had understood. ‘Would I want strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs,’ Trump said Monday, adding that he’s ‘not happy with Mexico.'” (11/18/25)
