Event Summary

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has rejected the prospect of allowing US military strikes against drug cartels on Mexican soil, following suggestions from former US President Donald Trump. This diplomatic tension is compounded by a recent border incursion where contractors working for the United States — United States Department of Defense placed 'restricted area' signs on what Mexico considers its territory near the Rio Grande. Mexico's Navy removed these signs, and the United States — International Boundary and Water Commission is now involved to clarify the border demarcation. The area is also sensitive due to its proximity to SpaceX's Starbase and past environmental concerns, as well as Donald Trump's previous attempt to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
