The comments come in the wake of a high‑profile Mexican military operation that resulted in the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of the nation’s most notorious criminal figures. Washington and Mexico cooperated on intelligence sharing that helped locate Oseguera, but Mexican forces carried out the operation independently. Sheinbaum stressed this point, noting the United States provided intelligence support but did not directly participate in the raid, countering Trump’s remarks that underscored U.S. involvement.

Sheinbaum also described a brief phone call with Trump shortly after the operation, saying the U.S. president called to ask about the situation in Mexico and how things were proceeding in the aftermath. The Mexican leader conveyed that bilateral coordination on security matters was proceeding well, even as she maintained a firm stance on Mexico’s autonomy in how it conducts its own law enforcement actions.
