"There won't be an invasion."

"I believe it's not going to happen."

We will not send military "to invade Mexico."

"There is no evidence that the U.S. is considering military action against Mexico or election interference."

"It [the idea of military strikes in Mexico] sounds good, but it's not real."

"Trump's history with this threat [to invade Mexico] suggests we should take it more seriously."

President Trump is committed to "using the full might of the United States special operations to take them [drug cartels] out [of Mexico]."

An invasion of Mexico is "something I could actually see Trump doing."

"If it takes military action [against Mexico], that's what we'll have to do."

US sending troops into Mexico "could happen."

Will the USA Invade Mexico?

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said "everything is under control" ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Mexico City on June 12, adding that fans should leave early to reach Azteca Stadium amid planned protests nearby.

More than 100,000 soldiers, marines, National Guard members and police officers were deployed across Mexico's three host cities — Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey — with anti-drone teams, surveillance cameras and special crowd management units also in operation.

Sheinbaum acknowledged that the FIFA Fan Festival in Mexico City's Zócalo square might not open on the tournament's opening day, directing fans to 18 alternative free viewing sites across the capital due to a nearby teachers' union protest camp.

The CNTE teachers' union, demanding a 100% salary increase and the repeal of a 2007 pension law, staged blockades and marches near Azteca Stadium on opening day. Families of Mexico's more than 133,000 missing people also held demonstrations along Calzada de Tlalpan.

The U.S. State Department issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Mexico City and Nuevo León, urging "increased caution" due to terrorism and crime, while Jalisco — host of four World Cup matches — received a Level 3 "reconsider travel" designation.
