President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo reiterated this Thursday that there will be no U.S. intervention in Mexican territory, asserting that Mexico is a free, independent, and sovereign country, and that her government maintains a relationship of collaboration and respect with Washington.

In her morning press conference at the National Palace, the president downplayed reports circulating in international media about alleged leaks related to security issues, and assured that the country will know how to respond to any real threat.

“If there were a real threat unrelated to these leaks or alleged leaks—because they aren’t even leaks in any international media outlet—well, we have the national anthem, as I’ve already said: ‘A soldier in every son,’” she affirmed.

Sheinbaum Pardo emphasized that any form of interference is rejected by Mexican society and that her government maintains a framework of understanding with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump based on cooperation, not intervention.

“The reality is that there will be no intervention from the United States. There simply won’t be any, because the Mexican people are united against any interference or intervention, because no Mexican man or woman, except for a very few who are the absolute exception, wants any intervention,” Sheinbaum Pardo stated.

She added that her government’s principles are based on the defense of national sovereignty and mutual respect between nations. “Mexico is a free, independent, and sovereign country, and so it should be. The principles under which we negotiate with any foreign government, in our movement and for those we represent—the people of Mexico—are always based on non-intervention,” she noted.

The President also emphasized that the relationship with the United States is developed within a framework of understanding that prioritizes dialogue and cooperation. “We have prioritized dialogue, and we have a framework of understanding with the United States government that, under no circumstances, includes interference or intervention, but rather collaboration and cooperation,” she maintained.
