The roughly 15-minute phone call followed Sheinbaum’s request for dialogue after a week in which Trump said he was prepared to confront cartels on the ground and repeated claims that criminal groups were operating with impunity in Mexico.

Sheinbaum said she made clear that Mexico’s constitution does not permit foreign military intervention and that her government opposes such actions. According to her account of the call, Trump said the United States could offer military assistance if requested, but she reiterated that Mexico does not consider it necessary and that the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected.

Trump has previously said the United States has sharply reduced drug trafficking by sea and signaled a desire to intensify efforts against land-based cartel operations. In a recent interview, he said cartels were "running Mexico,” a claim Mexican officials reject.

Sheinbaum said both leaders agreed to maintain dialogue and cooperation on security matters. She added that Mexico has shared recent results with U.S. officials, including a reported decline in homicides, as well as reductions in fentanyl seizures and overdose deaths in the United States.

Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente also spoke Sunday with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who called for "tangible results” and stronger cooperation to dismantle criminal organizations, according to a U.S. government statement.

Analysts say direct U.S. military intervention in Mexico remains unlikely given ongoing cooperation between the two governments and the importance of their economic relationship, though they expect Washington to continue applying political pressure on security issues.

Sheinbaum said the leaders did not discuss Cuba during their call. Mexico maintains close ties with the island nation, which could face additional economic strain following U.S. measures affecting regional oil supplies.
