The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbuam, stated that she disagrees with invasions. She said she was willing to seek a “peaceful resolution of the conflicts,” thereby joining the idea presented by the president of Brazil, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, who weeks ago offered himself as an interlocutor between the US and Venezuela.
The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbuamadvocated for a dialogue between the United States and Venezuela, after last Sunday, November 16, the US president, Donald Trump, said that there could be conversations with Nicolás Maduro because “They would like to talk.”
“Hopefully. We are a country that always seeks peace, dialogue, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts; we are not in favor of invasions. In whatever way Mexico can help, we will be there, so that there is always a dialogue. “We must seek dialogue and peace everywhere,” said the head of state on November 17, after being consulted about Trump’s statements.
Tensions between the United States and Venezuela have escalated, after Donald Trump’s administration deployed war teams to the Caribbean since mid-August to fight drug trafficking; actions that Maduro considers seek to remove him from power.
The president of Brazil, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, was the first to offer to mediate between the Trump-Maduro administrations. He affirmed that the region is a zone of peace. He said that it could be a “contact, interlocutor, as it has been in the past with Venezuela, to seek mutually acceptable and correct solutions between both countries.”
Lula’s proposal has not received any response from Trump, but it was celebrated by Maduro.

Since the US deployed to the Caribbean, it has destroyed more than 20 alleged drug boats, operations that have left more than 70 people dead for apparently transporting drugs.
