Sheinbaum's statements came after The Wall Street Journal published details of Trump's pressure to increase Washington's military participation in the fight against drug cartels. In response,

Sheinbaum reiterated that his country is free, independent and sovereign, and that his government will continue to defend these principles in any international negotiation.
