Speaking before a crowd of 130,000 people at Mexico City's Monument to the Revolution, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered her strongest rebuke yet of U.S. interference in Mexican affairs, citing the CIA's alleged unauthorized participation in a Chihuahua drug raid and U.S. prosecutors' request to arrest a sitting governor, mayor and senator — without publicly presenting evidence. 🇲🇽
While vowing to defend Mexican sovereignty, Sheinbaum stopped short of severing ties with Washington, pledging to continue security cooperation with the Trump administration — on Mexico's terms. "Cooperation does not mean subordination," she said, calling on the U.S. to halt illegal weapons trafficking into Mexico and address its own drug consumption crisis. 🤝
