But now, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum seems to be shrugging off President Trump’s warning.

While delivering remarks today, Sheinbaum confirmed that President Trump has repeatedly brought up the idea of sending the U.S. military to help stop the dangerous drug cartels in her country.

However, while Sheinbaum admits that the cartels are a huge problem, she is refusing President Trump’s offer for military assistance.
