Mexico’s president says ‘there will be no invasion … it’s absolutely off the table’ after news reports of order
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has rejected the idea that the US might invade Mexico after news reports suggested Donald Trump had authorized the use of military force targeting drug cartels deemed terrorist organizations in Latin American countries.
“The United States is not going to come to Mexico with their military,” she said during a daily news conference on Friday. “We cooperate, we collaborate, but there will be no invasion. It’s off the table, absolutely off the table.”
The Mexican president said her government had been informed of the executive order but insisted that “it had nothing to do with the participation of any military or any institution on our territory. There is no risk that they will invade our territory.”
The US could invade any country on Earth easily. Put up a big “Mission Accomplished” banner and all that.
The occupation that follows an invasion? That’s something the US isn’t all that good at. The US couldn’t hold Afghanistan. But with Afghanistan Americans could run home with their tail between their legs.
What your plan for withdrawing from a war on the North American continent?
But only once.
