Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Mexican Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Friday that it completely rejects the presence of US military forces on its territory and considers this action to be direct interference in internal affairs and a threat to national independence.
This stance follows the US embassy's announcement that it will use all means, including military options, to confront drug trafficking groups; an action that is in fact a continuation of Washington's long-standing policies to exert influence and military dominance over independent Latin American countries under the pretext of combating drugs.
The Trump administration has ordered the Pentagon to prepare military options against cartels on its list of “global terrorist organizations.” The list includes the Sinaloa Cartel and several other criminal groups, reflecting the United States’ militarized approach to imposing its power in the region.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made it clear that these groups should be treated as armed terrorist organizations, an approach that would pave the way for broader military intervention and the imposition of Washington’s will on sovereign countries.
Although US officials have stated that no immediate military operation is planned on Mexican soil, even the option of limited military strikes is a serious threat to Mexico’s sovereignty and independence.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has categorically rejected the presence of US forces and stressed that any military incursion into the country would be a clear violation of national sovereignty and that she will resist it with all her might.
This Mexican approach is an example of countries' resistance to the hegemonic and militaristic policies of the United States in Latin America, which seeks to expand its regional influence and control under the guise of the war on drugs.
Legal experts have also warned that US military action on Mexican soil is contrary to international law and could increase tensions in the region and jeopardize the independence of countries.
This new tension has emerged in the wake of long-standing conflicts between Washington and Mexico over maintaining national sovereignty and confronting US military interventions in the region, and has once again highlighted criticism of US hegemonic policies.
