Mexican President Rejects US Military Intervention in Venezuela
Speaking at her Monday morning press briefing, Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico firmly opposes all forms of external interference, a stance she said is rooted not only in the Mexican Constitution but also in the UN Charter.
“We categorically reject intervention in the internal affairs of other countries. The history of Latin America is clear and compelling: intervention has never brought democracy, never generated well-being, nor lasting stability,” she declared.
Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were taken into custody after US President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on several locations in Caracas on Saturday, an assault that reportedly caused at least 80 confirmed fatalities.
Mexican Foreign Secretary Juan Ramon de la Fuente also condemned the Trump administration’s actions, criticizing what he described as the UN’s passive role and its failure to respond effectively to unilateral and violent measures against a sovereign state.
“The United Nations remains our primary multilateral structure. It is the best we have. But unfortunately, today it has proven ineffective in trying to contain abuses by hegemonic powers. Hardly more than a voice can be raised to denounce the daily violations of international law,” de la Fuente stated.
Following the US intervention in Venezuela, Trump mentioned other Latin American nations as possible targets of American action, including Mexico and Colombia, which he alleged function as hubs for international narcotics trafficking.
