MEXICO CITY -Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that her nation would categorically reject any unilateral U.S. military in Mexico and that such military action “would not resolve anything.”

Her comments during her regular morning press conference came in response to questions about a NBC News report that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is considering drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico to combat trafficking across the shared border.

The NBC News report cited six current and former U.S. military, law enforcement and intelligence officials with knowledge of the matter.

Sheinbaum said the U.S. and Mexico have a good ongoing dialogue on security issues and that she did not think the U.S. would pursue such unilateral action.

Concern has mounted in recent months among some Mexican officials that the Trump administration may be setting the stage to take unilateral military action inside Mexico, an idea floated repeatedly during his presidential campaign.

In February, the U.S. designated the Sinaloa Cartel and other Mexican drug cartels as global terrorist organizations, which some analysts have said could be a stepping stone to such unilateral action.

Sheinbaum has since proposed a constitutional reform aimed at adding protections to Mexico’s national sovereignty.
