US military intervention is 'ruled out' to battle drug cartels: Mexican president

President Claudia Sheinbaum ruled out US military assistance in Mexico and praised the diplomatic relationship with her northern neighbor.

"It reaffirms what we have been saying, that any intervention by the United States is ruled out, let's put it that way, among other reasons," she said.

Sheinbaum’s comments stem from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s address during a G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Canada earlier this week, where he said Washington would not deploy military troops to Mexican territory nor engage in "one-sided" actions.
