Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday she will propose a constitutional reform aimed at further protecting Mexico's national sovereignty, after the U.S. designated various Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Claudia Sheinbaum reaffirmed Mexico's cooperation to fight drug trafficking but insisted on the concept of 'collaboration, not subordination.'
