Overview
- Claudia Sheinbaum issued a formal statement denouncing the U.S. military action in Caracas, arguing that intervention and invasion have never delivered democracy or stability.
- She restated Mexico’s security understanding with Washington around four principles: respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, shared and differentiated responsibility, mutual respect and trust, and cooperation without subordination.
- Sheinbaum ruled out any U.S. military incursion into Mexico, said she does not see such a move as serious, and indicated no immediate call with President Donald Trump is planned.
- Mexico urged the OAS and the UN to safeguard self‑determination and oppose unilateral actions, coordinating positions with leaders including Colombia’s Gustavo Petro and Spain’s Pedro Sánchez after a joint regional repudiation of the operation.
- Nicolás Maduro remains in U.S. custody with an initial court appearance in New York expected, as Sheinbaum also cited 2025 results to defend Mexico’s domestic security strategy against organized crime.
