Sheinbaum Rebukes U.S. After Trump Confirms CIA Operations in Venezuela

Sheinbaum invoked Mexico's constitutional principle of self-determination to reject any foreign intervention in Venezuela.

Overview

  • U.S. President Donald Trump said he authorized CIA operations in Venezuela, asserting the move was warranted because Venezuela had emptied prisons and sent inmates to the United States.
  • Mexico's president declared "no to interventionism and invasion," framing her stance as a constitutional commitment to non-intervention.
  • Sheinbaum said Mexico sells fuel to Cuba and will continue humanitarian assistance to Cuba and other countries, citing a current diesel surplus for export.
  • Responding to U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez, she defended her position during the USMCA review and noted transparent contracts with Cuban medical personnel working in Mexico.
  • She used her press conference to criticize domestic rivals, branding a potential PAN–Movimiento Ciudadano alliance as "MAC-PAN" and accusing PAN of representing corrupt old-regime interests.
