Trump asked me what I thought of Venezuela... I said very clearly that our Constitution is very clear, we do not agree with interventions! - Sheinbaum reveals all

"President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, revealed the inside track from her phone call with US counterpart, Donald Trump, during her morning press conference on Monday in Mexico City. "He asked me what my opinion was about what they had done in Venezuela and I said very clearly that our Constitution is very clear, that we do not agree with interventions, and that was the end of it," she said. During the conversation, of approximately 15 minutes, topics such as security, the reduction of fentanyl trafficking and trade were addressed, in what she described as a 'friendly' and respectful exchange. "There are very important results from the joint collaboration. For example, fentanyl crossings from Mexico to the United States have been reduced by 50 percent," Sheinbaum said. The president emphasised that President Trump insisted on offering Mexico help in combating drug trafficking with the participation of US forces. However, Sheinbaum stressed that the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty are not up for negotiation, and any collaboration will continue within that framework of respect, each within their own territories. When asked about the possibility of US military intervention in Mexico to combat cartels, Sheinbaum reaffirmed that Mexico will not allow acts that undermine its sovereignty and sent a strong message to Mexicans. "Our president will never negotiate sovereignty or territorial integrity. We seek coordination without subordination and as equals, and this is a permanent process," said the head of state. The call also confirmed that on January 22-23 a new meeting of the binational commission will take place, this time in the United States, where pending issues such as investment and migration will be reviewed. Trump has repeatedly suggested he could use land strikes in Mexico against the cartels. "
