April 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is considering drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico to combat trafficking across the southern border, NBC News reported on Tuesday.

It cited six current and former U.S. military, law enforcement and intelligence officials with knowledge of the matter.

In response to the report, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that her nation would categorically reject any unilateral U.S. military in Mexico, and that such military action "would not resolve anything."

She added that the U.S. and Mexico had a good ongoing dialogue on security issues and that she did not think the U.S. would pursue such unilateral action.
