Mexican President Rejects US Invasion Speculation as ‘Movie,’ Defends Sovereignty
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum downplayed a Rolling Stone report detailing a potential “soft invasion” of Mexico by the incoming Trump administration, characterizing it as unrealistic. The report alleges plans for U.S. special forces operations targeting Mexican cartels, including assassinations and airstrikes, with support from several Trump appointees. Sheinbaum asserted Mexico’s sovereignty, while figures like Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio voiced support for military intervention, albeit with caveats regarding cooperation with the Mexican government. However, experts warn such actions could inadvertently strengthen cartels and destabilize the region.
