Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly condemned the US military intervention in Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro, rejecting any foreign intervention in Latin America. She also dismissed the possibility of a similar US military action on Mexican territory.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a strong condemnation of the United States' military intervention in Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. During her morning briefing, Sheinbaum reiterated Mexico's principled rejection of all forms of foreign intervention, grounding her position in both the Mexican Constitution and the UN Charter.

Principles and Historical Context

"The history of Latin America is clear and compelling: intervention has never brought democracy, never generated well-being, nor lasting stability," Sheinbaum stated. She was joined by Foreign Secretary Juan Ramon de la Fuente, who criticized the Trump administration's actions and lamented the United Nations' inability to decisively counter what he described as unilateral and violent abuses by hegemonic powers.

Response to Trump's Comments on Mexico

The condemnation follows remarks by US President Donald Trump, who referenced Mexico and Colombia as potential targets for US action, alleging they serve as hubs for international drug trafficking. Trump claimed Sheinbaum is "terrified" of cartels, which he said effectively govern Mexico. In response, Sheinbaum dismissed the likelihood of an invasion, stating, "I do not believe in an invasion. I do not believe that it is even something they are taking very seriously." She firmly rejected Trump's repeated suggestions that the US military be allowed to operate in Mexico, citing sovereignty and necessity.
