The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, made an urgent call for the United Nations (UN) to assume an active role in the search for peaceful solutions amid the growing tension in Venezuela. During her usual press conference at the National Palace, the head of state emphasized the need to avoid any violent outcome and prioritize diplomatic dialogue. Mexico's stance is a direct response to recent statements from U.S. President Donald Trump, who announced an increase in the naval fleet in the Caribbean until Venezuela returns assets that Washington considers stolen. The U.S. naval deployment, which began in August under the pretext of combating drug trafficking, has resulted in a blockade of tankers that Mexico is watching with concern. The president urged the international body not to be a spectator and to facilitate negotiation channels that de-escalate the confrontational rhetoric. "We call for the use of dialogue and peace in any international dispute, not intervention," the head of state stated, seeking to position Mexico as a neutral mediator amid the escalation of sanctions and military movements in the Caribbean basin. Sheinbaum stressed that, beyond political differences, the priority must be the preservation of life and regional stability. The Mexican leader reaffirmed the historical principles of her country's diplomacy, focused on the self-determination of peoples: Sheinbaum clarified that Mexico's position is based on 'conviction and Constitution,' defending Venezuelan sovereignty against external pressures.
