President Trump on Friday appeared to send a warning to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, saying, “I like her very much, but she should get rid of the cartels” and “she should have not refused my help.”
Trump has on several occasions suggested that he would launch military operations against cartels in Mexico.
Trump had shared a recent clip of Sheinbaum earlier, where she brags that she “proudly” turned down US support in fighting the drug cartels.
“That’s right, we said no, proudly no,” Sheinbaum said at the press conference earlier in the week.

This comes after chaos erupted last month in Sinaloa following the death of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, during a Mexican military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco. As The Gateway Pundit reported, violent battles between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the federal government turned the country into an active warzone as Mexican authorities wrangled with cartel gangsters.
CJNG executed attacks on pharmacies, convenience stores, and government buildings in Guadalajara’s metropolitan area, with explosions and smoke filling the popular tourist destination, and even took over the Guadalajara International Airport.
Trump has previously stated he would be “proud” to launch land strikes against the cartels in Mexico. However, Sheinbaum later rejected Trump’s proposal and said she would not allow US military intervention.
Following US Military strikes in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolas Maduro in Operation Absolute Resolve, Trump also said, “Something’s gonna have to be done with Mexico.”
While departing Washington, DC, en route to West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump on Friday appeared to warn Sheinbaum, telling The Gateway Pundit, “She should not have refused my help.”
“I offered to get rid of the cartels in Mexico, and for some reason, she doesn’t want to do that,” he continued. “Whether we like it or not, the cartels are running Mexico. We can’t have that.”
