MEXICO CITY - Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday her government would "never" compromise on the country's sovereignty and independence and allow US troops on Mexican soil.

"It must be made very clear to all Mexicans ... that we will never jeopardize our sovereignty. We will never jeopardize the independence of Mexico, a free, sovereign and independent country," Sheinbaum said at her usual morning press conference at the National Palace.

If an aircraft has to fly over Mexican territory, it will have "to be exclusively under Mexico's coordination and request for some type of monitoring," she added.
