Mexico’s Senate approves 19 US Navy SEALs for joint training exercises, not combat operations against cartels

Factcheck: No, the claim is misleading. Mexico’s Senate approved 19 US Navy SEALs for a joint training exercise (Feb 15-Apr 16, 2026), not combat against cartels. Sheinbaum rejects US military intervention, emphasizing sovereignty. No evidence of Trump directly pressuring for this. Sources: Border Report, Euronews, Mexico News Daily.
