MIAMI, United States. – In a telephone conversation with the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, requested the end of the “economic blockade” that Washington maintains on the regimes of Cuba and Venezuela.
“We ask that the blockades on Cuba and Venezuela be ended because what that does is cause the people to suffer and cause a phenomenon like migration to occur,” declared Sheinbaum in his usual morning conference last Wednesday.

The president explained that her request is linked to a strategy to contain migration to the United States. He stressed that economic measures mainly affect citizens, who are forced to leave their countries of origin.
Sheinbaum also detailed that one of the central topics in the call with Trump was migration.
After hearing the news, the dictator of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, he didn’t take long to react: He thanked the Mexican president for her solidarity with the South American nation and recalled that, at the time, he had discussed the issue with former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO): “No later than one year from the day the US. ends the blockade and economic persecution against Venezuela, not a single migrant will reach the United States.”
So far, the president-elect of the United States has not commented on this matter.
Last January, the then Mexican ruler, AMLO, asked Washington to begin dialogue with a view to eliminating sanctions against the Cuban and Venezuelan regimes.
In the midst of an unprecedented immigration crisis, the former Mexican president interceded by the governments of their allies in order to contain the flow of citizens from these countries, which has caused chaos in the immigration stations within Mexico.
As he pointed out in his usual morning conferencein a round of conversations with the US Government, made four proposals to address the immigration situation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
In the meeting held with officials of the Biden Administration at the National Palace, he intervened on behalf of the regimes of Cuba and Venezuela, to suspend trade sanctions against them and begin a dialogue with both nations.
“What danger could Cuba or any other country mean for the United States?” he expressed, without referring to the intensified economic crisis, but because of the suffocating Cuban Government and without mentioning the enormous repression against citizens.
In 2023, AMLO advertisement that he would send a letter to his American counterpart, Joe Biden, with the aim of promoting rapprochement between the US Government and the Cuban regime.
