00:02U.S. military forces will not enter Mexico to fight drug cartels, the president said.
00:09Has military intervention been ruled out?
00:13Yes, he generally insists on the participation of U.S. forces.
00:21We always say that it is not necessary, and that we are very clear in defending our territoriality.
00:27It is clear that we continue to collaborate and coordinate without the need for further intervention by the United States.
00:37Claudia Sheinbaum explained that during her telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, she made it clear.
00:45By national collaboration, must respect both countries' sovereignty.
00:48The understanding has been very clear regarding respect for our sovereignty, collaboration, and cooperation.
00:58We share information, and from there, each country conducts its operations within its own territory.
01:04The important thing is to maintain this relationship of respect and collaboration.
01:09The president revealed that during the call with President Trump, he asked her opinion on his military intervention in Venezuela.
01:20He asked me what our position was on Venezuela.
01:25I told him that it is the public position, that we have a constitution, that we are against military intervention.
01:32He even said, I understand that that is your constitution.
01:37Essentially, that was the conversation on the subject of Venezuela.

01:54Thinking about Latin America, it should be said that there is work being done in ideological terms that is filtered through what is broadcast by the media.
02:06Because, we must remember, that the large media groups in Latin America are in the hands of people who have a vision that empathizes with the one promoted by the United States.
02:16That is why it is necessary for the people of Latin America to remain united and strengthen their multilateral organizations in the region, explains the expert.
02:29Now, our defense lies in strengthening the states so that we can build a common front at the regional level.
02:37Efforts have been made, CELIC being one of them.
02:42But we need more effective mechanisms that can bring together the states of the countries where we have progressive governments that can structure a regional defense and confront the intervention strategies of the United States.
02:55So, regarding Trump's recent threat against Cuba, canceling oil shootings from Venezuela, Claudia Sheinbaum offered to facultate dialogue between the two countries if required.
03:10Antonio Aranda, Telesur, Ciudad de México.
