Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly confirmed she rejected U.S. military assistance from President Donald Trump, who was looking to help the country fight drug trafficking and violent cartels.
Responding to a Wall Street Journal report Friday that detailed the offer, Sheinbaum confirmed "it's true."
Trump reportedly called Sheinbaum and asked, "How can we help you fight drug trafficking?"
She told Trump the country will "never accept" the presence of the U.S. Army in its territory.
