(MENAFN) President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed the possibility of U.S. military involvement in Mexico and commended the robust diplomatic rapport with the northern nation.

"It reaffirms what we have been saying, that any intervention by the United States is ruled out, let's put it that way, among other reasons," she stated.

Her remarks were prompted by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s address at a G7 foreign ministers' gathering in Canada earlier in the week, where he noted that Washington would refrain from sending military personnel into Mexican territory or taking "one-sided" measures.

Rubio, nevertheless, did express readiness to dispatch military forces to Mexico and provide intelligence aid and equipment, should Mexico request such support.

"(There is) an agreement with the United States government on security issues, which guarantees sovereignty, the integrity of our territory, and collaboration and cooperation without subordination," Sheinbaum added.

One year into her administration, Sheinbaum has been confronted with an escalating security dilemma and the persistent violence of organized crime across Mexico, as well as provocations from her U.S. counterpart, President Donald Trump.

Since the beginning of his second term in January, Trump has sought to pressure Sheinbaum into adopting his policy positions by threatening tariffs on Mexican exports, while external sources have asserted that, under Trump’s directives, the U.S. has contemplated military action against Mexican land.
