President Donald Trump has confirmed he offered to send U.S. troops into Mexico to combat drug cartels, an offer firmly rejected by Mexican counterpart Claudia Sheinbaum. The proposal was made during a phone call between the two leaders last month and could become a point of tension between the neighboring countries, which are also negotiating over trade and immigration.
"She is so afraid of the cartels she can't even think straight," Trump said Sunday aboard Air Force One, adding that Sheinbaum "can't walk" out of fear of cartel violence in the country. He did, however, describe her as "a lovely woman."
