ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, May 4 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday confirmed that he had offered to send U.S. troops to Mexico to help Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum combat drug trafficking, an offer Sheinbaum disclosed on Saturday and said she had refused.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he had made the offer because the drug cartels were "horrible people" who had caused thousands of deaths.

"If Mexico wanted help with the cartels, we would be honored to go in and do it," he said.
