U.S. President Donald Trump declared during the G7 summit in France that cartels govern Mexico and that President Claudia Sheinbaum is scared.

Trump made these statements in Evian, France, during the annual Group of Seven meeting. He said Mexico has lost control of the country and that the cartels govern it completely.

Deputies from PAN and PRI agreed with Trump and criticized Sheinbaum's government. Panista Genoveva Huerta said minimizing the situation is a grave error.

Morena leader Ricardo Monreal rejected the military intervention threats mentioned by Vice President JD Vance. He stated that military action is not possible and that Mexico seeks bilateral cooperation.
