In response to reports that US President Trump may authorize the military to strike drug trafficking groups in Latin America, Mexican President Lpez Obrador stated on the 8th that the United States will not send troops into Mexico to combat drug trafficking groups and that this possibility does not exist. Lpez Obrador responded to media reports during a routine press conference that day, saying that the United States will not send troops to Mexico and there will be no invasion.
