Mexico Condemns U.S. Venezuela Raid, Mobilizes Regional and UN Response

Mexico frames its response in multilateral law, invoking core non‑intervention principles.

Overview

  • The government denounced the U.S. military operation that detained Nicolás Maduro as a breach of the UN Charter and Mexico’s Estrada Doctrine.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said Latin American leaders have reached out and that a joint regional pronouncement is being prepared.
  • Mexico urged the United Nations to act immediately to de‑escalate tensions and to facilitate a peaceful, lawful resolution.
  • Domestic backing solidified: the Chamber of Deputies supported the stance, and the Senate labeled the incursion illegal and canceled a vote to admit 29 U.S. special‑forces personnel.
  • Answering President Trump’s claim that “the cartels run Mexico,” Sheinbaum emphasized security cooperation “without subordination,” ruled out any U.S. intervention in Mexico, and pressed Washington to curb arms trafficking.
