Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is suddenly under tremendous pressure after Donald Trump confirmed that ground attacks against the cartels are imminent. Although she claims to be proud of rejecting Trump, most Mexicans are not happy with her decision.

Her response: “We proudly say no to the United States,” says it all.

But apparently, Donald Trump is completely serious this time, and Sheinbaum knows it.

For seven years, Mexico’s leadership has looked the other way. At the same time, the cartels have increasingly controlled entire regions of the country and trafficked narcotics worldwide. Within Mexico, they have diversified their criminal activities by murdering, kidnapping, extorting, and robbing citizens with impunity.

However, now the pressure is real; the tone of the US president changed overnight.

No more half measures. No more excuses. No more delays, several Republicans in the neighboring country to the north are calling for immediate action against the cartels, and especially against the politicians who are colluding with these criminals.

Trump has been very clear in saying that the power of the cartels must be completely crushed and that American society is tired of pretending that this is not a threat to national security.

On Wednesday, March 11, on the social network X.com, both Barron Trump, the US president’s youngest son, and the official account of Mossad, Israel’s national foreign intelligence agency, openly posted that President Claudia Sheinbaum is protecting the cartels, and pointed to her party, Morena, as an ally of these organized crime groups.

It is a fact that millions of Mexicans who do not support the Morena regime or its methods for combating organized crime agree that they need help from the United States to improve security on their streets, to end the “war” that has been raging for 18 months in the state of Sinaloa, to stop the daily disappearances, and to stop paying extortion money to criminals without the government taking any action.

However, the president claims that “Mexico proudly says no”, that the people of Mexico do not agree with U.S. intervention, when in reality it is she and the members of the ruling party, Morena, who disagree, because they know that they belong to the cartels.
