Asked about this, Sheinbaum said: “He has stated this several times. However, we have a very good relationship in terms of security and other issues with the United States. “There is communication, there is an understanding on security issues, which has been established in several meetings.”
Trump started a war with Venezuela in 2025 to supposedly counter drug trafficking in that country and accused Nicolás Maduro of colluding with organized crime.
The aggression escalated until early this Saturday morning when the United States carried out a military intervention in Caracas, detained Maduro and assured that it would transfer him to New York to try him for drug trafficking and terrorism.
That is why suspicions were raised when Trump declared hours later that Mexico was governed by drug cartels. However, the Mexican president trusted the agreements reached with the United States and ruled out for now communicating with Trump to address the issue.
Given Washington’s decision to direct Venezuela while the “political transition” takes place, Sheinbaum said that his government will analyze what Mexico’s new relationship with the South American country will be like.
“We condemn any intervention and we are guided by what the Constitution establishes. This goes beyond, even, Maduro’s presidency. It has to do with international politics, international laws and it has to do with very clear principles of Mexican foreign policy that we defend,” he declared.
Mexico would condemn attack with other Latin American countries
Sheinbaum opened the door to conversations with other presidents of the region and to issue a joint statement in the coming hours to demand respect for international law.
“It is very important for Latin America and the Caribbean to stay together, in general with all the countries of the world, but to stay together. We think it is very important to defend international laws, international treaties, the United Nations Charter and the defense, above all, of the sovereignty of peoples and the peaceful solution of any conflict,” he explained.
Interviewed by the media on a tour of Tlaxcala, Sheinbaum reiterated her condemnation of the US military intervention, which violated the Charter of the United Nations.
“We defend the Estrada Doctrine and what the foreign policy of our country represents, which is established in the Constitution, which is against interventions and in favor of the peaceful solution of any conflict.”
