Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday said that members of the US military would not be entering Mexican territory after a news report that Washington may take such action to combat drug cartels.
Earlier on Friday, The New York Times reported that US President Donald Trump had signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels.
Sheinbaum said her government had been informed of a coming order but that it had nothing to do with the US military operating on Mexican soil.
