Mexican President for talks between the US and Venezuela

In a recent statement, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized her country’s commitment to peace and dialogue, particularly in the context of escalating tensions between the United States and Venezuela. Responding to former US President Donald Trump’s comments about potential talks with Venezuela, Sheinbaum reiterated Mexico’s stance against invasions and its support for peaceful conflict resolution. ‘We are a country that always seeks peace, dialogue, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. We are not in favor of invasions,’ she declared during her weekly media briefing at the National Palace. Sheinbaum also affirmed Mexico’s willingness to assist in fostering dialogue between the US and Venezuela, stating, ‘Mexico will always be there to help in any possible way. Dialogue must always take place. We must seek talks and peace everywhere.’ Trump’s remarks coincided with the deployment of the US Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean Sea, a move widely interpreted as a display of military strength. Additionally, the US initiated provocative military exercises in Trinidad and Tobago, near Venezuela’s borders, while continuing operations against suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed Washington’s refusal to recognize Nicolas Maduro as Venezuela’s legitimate president, maintaining a hardline stance against his administration.
