What did President Trump offer Mexico in the fight against cartels?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. And this is your AM Update. If Mexico wanted help with the cartels, we would be honored to go in and do it. President Trump confirms Mexico declined his offer of direct U.S. military support against the cartels. For now. But the offer, he says, still stands.
Hundreds of thousands of football fans will travel all across our country to cheer them on in person.
President Trump takes questions at an event announcing the 2027 NFL draft, sounding off on everything from Pope Trump memes to self-deportation payouts and a shocking report on Antarctica. Could climate change be reversing? All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. If you haven't heard about Riverbend Ranch, listen up.
How is Riverbend Ranch revolutionizing beef production?
They have just introduced their Riverbend Ranch steaks to the marketplace and you need to try them. Riverbend Ranch raises their own beef on beautiful mountain meadows only a few miles from West Yellowstone. Unlike most ranches, Riverbend Ranch never uses growth hormones or antibiotics. They treat their animals humanely and with respect. There are advantages of buying directly from the ranch. They can track the health of every animal from the day it is born and can guarantee that it has been healthy every day of its life. Riverbend Ranch has its own state-of-the-art processing facility on the ranch that has received several national awards as one of the best in the U.S. But most importantly is the quality of the beef. They age their beef to perfection for 21 days.
You simply cannot buy beef like this in a grocery store. You cannot. Shipped directly from the ranch to your home, you get a much better price than going through the middlemen. Order directly from riverbendranch.com and use promo code MEGAN to get $20 off your first order. That's riverbendranch.com, code MEGAN. And be prepared. Once you taste it, I think you're going to be coming back for more and more. Again, riverbendranch.com, code MEGAN. President Trump on Sunday confirming an offer to deploy U.S. troops to assist Mexico in fighting drug cartels on Mexican soil.
It's true. They are horrible people that have been killing people left and right. They've made a fortune on selling drugs and destroying our people. We lost 300,000 people last year, two-fifths of all in drugs. They're bad news. Yeah, that's true. If Mexico wanted help with the cartels, we would be honored to go in and do it. I told her that. I would be honored to go in and do it. So if she said that I offered to do that, she's 100% right. Well, she's so afraid of the cartel, she can't walk. So, you know, that's the reason. And I think she's a lovely woman. But the president of Mexico is a lovely woman. But she is so afraid of the cartels that she can't even think straight.
According to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump made the offer on a phone call with Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum on April 16th. President Scheinbaum rejecting the offer as a matter of national sovereignty. On Saturday, the Mexican president responding to the report at a press conference.
In one of the calls, U.S. President Donald Trump said it was important for the U.S. Army to enter Mexico. to help us in the fight against drug trafficking. And you know what I told him? No, President Trump. The territory is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is not for sale. We can work together, but you can do it in your territory. We can do it in ours. We can share information, but we will never accept the presence of the U.S. Army in our territory.
In February, President Trump invoking emergency powers to implement additional tariffs on Mexico until its government stepped up in the war against fentanyl and illegal immigration. The New York Times' The Daily Podcast reporting in early March, the tariffs had an immediate impact on cartel fentanyl production.
Even though I was really skeptical, I wanted to go back into a lab to see whether all of these threats had led to real changes.
