Mexico Draws Line: 'Cooperation Without Subordination' On Migration As U.S. Threatens Tariffs; 26 Cartel Extraditions Show Pressure

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum says her government will negotiate on migration and anti-cartel security with the U.S. only on terms that respect sovereignty, amid tariff threats and reports Trump considered military options. She cited shared responsibility and mutual trust as the basis for cooperation. The stance follows Mexico’s extradition of 26 suspected cartel figures to the U.S. and comes as Washington links trade pressure to migration and enforcement. The delicate balance could affect border flows, deportations, and trade talks in the coming days.
