Mexican President Mobilizes Diplomats to Stop Trump From Attacking Cartels in Her Country
Breitbart ^ | 01/09/2026 | Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby

Posted on 01/10/2026 9:01:43 AM PST by DFG

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that she ordered her country’s top diplomat to speak with the highest levels of the U.S. government to work on improving binational coordination in order to keep U.S. forces from carrying out direct attacks against cartels inside Mexico. This appears to be her latest effort to protect the violent drug trafficking cartels that exert political influence at every level of her country.

The announcement came in response to a series of comments made by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, who claimed that while his forces had been highly effective in stopping the maritime flow of drugs, drug cartels continue to control Mexico.

“We are now going to start hitting land with regards to cartels,” Trump said on Thursday evening during an interview with Sean Hannity.

Trump’s comments drew widespread attention in Mexico, where news outlets and individuals from political parties opposed to Sheinbaum’s government have continuously exposed widespread corruption and cartel complicity between drug cartels and the country’s political elite.

Soon after Trump ordered a successful military operation in Venezuela, where authorities and military forces arrested narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, many in Mexico began to call for similar actions in that country or hinted that politicians within the country’s political elite could be next.

During her morning news conference, Sheimbaum revealed that she had instructed Mexico’s Foreign Relations Secretary, Juan Ramon de La Fuente, to speak with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Trump directly to discuss improving international law enforcement cooperation and reaffirm their working relationship.

And not advertising such operations either.

Oh, something happened very quickly in your land-locked $#!+hole, in the middle of the night? Gee. What a shame.

I think, and this just may be me, but the thing to watch for would be if the State Department calls on Americans that are vacationing down Mexico to evacuate the country.

I don’t think I’d wanna be a tourist down there for fear that the cartels might strike back by kidnapping or killing American tourists in retaliation.

Sheinbaum negotiating for plausible deniability as the drug kingpin overlords who’ve grown accustomed to pulling her national government’s marionette strings start turning up absent at morning muster.

I have some sympathy for Mexico on the drug front. Our degenerate population funds the cartels that warp Mexican politics, then we punish Mexico for it. The violence that has spread to our side of the border necessitates action but Mexico really is between a rock and a hard place.

Yeah, but the headline got you to read at least the first paragraph of the article. By the standards of modern journalism it did its job!

Charge the Queen for every penny spent on medical care and burial of every American murdered, sickened or mentally damaged by Wetback drug cartels from Mexico coming to America to destroy America. MEXICO IS NOT OUR FRIED. THEY ARE AN ENEMY TO AMERICA.

They must protect the cartels at all costs.

This does tell you who is running things in Mexico.

As if there was any doubt.

Doesn’t that prove that Scheinbaum is an employee of the cartels?
