President Sheinbaum shows no concern about potential testimony from Zambada because Mexico has proper legal procedures to handle any allegations. Any claims he makes must be supported by evidence and investigated by Mexico's Federal Attorney General's Office. The opposition's attempts to paint Mexico as a narco-state have repeatedly failed because the people know these accusations are false.


Metaculus Prediction

There's a 12% chance that the U.S. will deploy military forces in Mexico without the cooperation of the Mexican government before 2029, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
