Mexico's president says she rejected Trump's plan to send US troops across the border

MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said on Saturday that U.S. President Donald Trump proposed sending American troops into Mexico to help her administration fight drug trafficking but that she rejected it.

Her remarks to supporters in eastern Mexico came in response to a Wall Street Journal article published the day before, describing a tense phone call last month in which Trump reportedly pressured her to accept a bigger role for the U.S. military in combating drug cartels in Mexico.

“He said, ‘How can we help you fight drug trafficking? I propose that the United States military come in and help you.’ And you know what I said to him? ‘No, President Trump.'"

She added: “Sovereignty is not for sale. Sovereignty is loved and defended."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sheinbaum's remarks.

1. As she should.

Been A Dick Donald has no business asking the Pres. of Mexico to let the US deploy combat troops inside Mexico to go after drug cartels, much less actually sending them.

He sure does like to talk about deploying US troops but when it came time for him to step up and serve in Vietnam, he was too busy trying to avoid STD's and getting deferments from his daddy.
Hypocrisy at it's finest.

2. She added: "Sovereignty is not for sale. Sovereignty is loved and defended."

And thus it is so fitting that today, in the Nation's and ()among the world's most famous horse races, SOVERIGNTY beat the favorites to win.

(Most) of the world craves democracy, but in addition, to have sovereignty from those who would seek to make it THEIRS.
