Sheinbaum Responds to Trump on Drug Fight: 'Mexico Is Taking Action'

“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat 





The President highlighted a reduction in homicides, the destruction of clandestine laboratories, and a decrease in fentanyl trafficking toward the United States.


President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to recent statements by Donald Trump regarding the fight against drug trafficking, asserting that Mexico is maintaining continuous actions against organized crime and drug trafficking.


During her morning press conference on May 7, 2026, the President reacted to comments made by the U.S. leader, who warned that if other countries "won't do the job, we will."


In response, Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico *is* indeed taking action and presented figures related to the security strategy implemented by her administration.

"This isn’t the first time he has made such statements, but we are taking action," the President stated.


The President highlighted that there is currently a reduction of nearly 50% in intentional homicides, in addition to the destruction of approximately 2,500 clandestine laboratories linked to the production of synthetic drugs.


"There is a reduction of almost 50% in intentional homicides; 2,500 laboratories disabled or destroyed; and arrests made... There is a reduction in the flow of fentanyl from Mexico to the United States," she affirmed.


During the conference, Sheinbaum also addressed the new anti-drug strategy promoted by the United States, noting the significance of the U.S. government publicly acknowledging the problem of domestic drug consumption.


She explained that the plan seeks to build a drug-free society through preventive campaigns and initiatives aimed primarily at young people and schools.


"For the first time in a U.S. strategy for combating drugs, they have included this theme: creating a United States of America free of drugs through social norms," ​​she remarked.


The President also recalled a previous conversation with Trump, during which they discussed the differences in drug consumption levels between the two countries. As she recounted, she explained to the U.S. leader the importance of family values ​​and the preventive campaigns developed in Mexico. Finally, Sheinbaum reiterated that Mexico will maintain bilateral cooperation regarding security and the fight against drug trafficking, although she insisted that the illegal trafficking of weapons from the United States into Mexican territory must also be curbed.

  7. How many times has Mexico stated that they are constantly solving the issue regarding cartels. It only seems to get worse even after supposedly getting rid of the leaders of major cartels.

  9. Drugs won the war on drugs. The only way to fight them is too for the government to legalize them and then take control of the market. Just like with alcohol and tobacco. People worldwide are not going to quit. Most nation states clandestinely push them to fund cia, mossad and whatever off the book activity or coups they are funding that week. Hell heroin became an epidemic in the US from the cia pushing it into impoverished areas to try to fund there illicit activities in Vietnam. Freeway Ricky Ross had a cia dude and a fed as his suppliers. In the end he took the fall. Danilo Blanco died rich and his fed contact moved on to some other illicit source of funding. So basically we're screwed and the dope ain't going away.
