US President Donald Trump has said that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum turned down his offer to send United States troops into Mexico to help battle drug cartels because she was “too afraid”; of the cartels to accept his proposal.
According to Trump, Sheinbaum was unable to “think straight”; because of fear.
The US leader said this while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday.
Trump said, “If Mexico wanted help with the cartels, we would be honored to go in and do it.
“The president of Mexico is a lovely woman, but she is so afraid of the cartels that she can’t even think straight.”;
Recall that Sheinbaum had claimed to send American troops to Mexico to help combat drug trafficking.
Trump has taken a more aggressive approach to cross-border crime during his second term as President of the United States.
Since January, the American military presence at the southern border has grown.
