Mexico’s president tries to defuse fears of US military intervention

The U.S.-Mexico border has become increasingly contentious over drug trafficking, with Mexico's president warning against Trump's potential involvement in expanding U.S. military presence there. Despite Trump confirming his troops' offer to address cartel threats, their relationship remains cordial compared to other world leaders. However, Trump's tariffs on U.S. products threatened the US-Mexico trade deal, with Mexico taking a harder stance on his withdrawal. Experts emphasize that increased military action alone won't solve Mexico's organized crime issue; instead, it requires stronger intelligence, accountability, and political resolve.
