Sheinbaum: Those Seeking US Intervention Have No Internal Power in Mexico
This article by Jorge Salcedo originally appeared in the January 13, 2026 edition of El Sol de México.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said that those who call for or seek US intervention in Mexico to address the country’s security situation lack internal power in Mexico and depend on others to gain influence.
In a morning press conference, the President of the Republic said that opposition groups in Mexico prefer that the government headed by Sheinbaum fares poorly regarding the call she held with her US counterpart, Donald Trump, in response to his statements about wanting to attack these criminal groups in Mexico by land.
Sheinbaum reiterated that Mexico’s and her government’s position is enshrined in the Mexican Constitution, which establishes the principle of non-military intervention. She also emphasized that her government maintains a framework of understanding for collaboration between countries, but not the subordination of the Mexican people to the demands of the United States.
In this regard, Sheinbaum stated that opposition groups to her government, particularly the PRIAN (a coalition of the National Action Party and the Institutional Revolutionary Party), were hoping for a negative outcome from the call between the heads of state. However, she reiterated that these groups lack popular support in the country.
” Who is seeking intervention? Those who lack internal strength , those who rely on others to guarantee their influence in our country,” President Claudia Sheinbaum pointed out.
