Overview
- In weekend appearances in Guerrero and Michoacán, President Claudia Sheinbaum said cooperation with the United States will continue but emphasized that Mexico’s independence and sovereignty are not negotiable.
- Sheinbaum directed Foreign Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente to deepen contacts with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with the option of speaking directly with President Trump if circumstances require it.
- Seventy-five U.S. House Democrats warned Rubio that any unilateral U.S. incursion into Mexico would be “disastrous,” arguing it would shatter trust and undermine bilateral security efforts.
- Mexican officials highlighted ongoing joint operations with U.S. counterparts, including a maritime surveillance protocol and recent results such as a 1.6‑tonne cocaine seizure in the Pacific.
- Sheinbaum said Mexico’s measures have halved the flow of fentanyl into the United States and urged Washington to reduce domestic demand as both countries continue coordinated security work.
