President Sheinbaum opposes intervention and urges dialogue amid rising regional tensions.
On Thursday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed her willingness to convene countries from the Americas and other continents to seek a peaceful way out of any conflict in Venezuela.

She said Mexico’s position — rooted in a historical conviction and a constitutional mandate — should be shared by South American countries even when political differences exist among governments.
“We do not agree with interventions… and we are in favor of the peaceful resolution of conflicts,” Sheinbaum said, emphasizing that the issue of President Nicolas Maduro’s government “is a separate matter.”
“The central issue is interventionism and interference,” the Mexican president reiterated, adding that the United Nations has many mechanisms to steer a peaceful solution with the participation of the parties involved.
“This is not about drugs. It’s about regime change.”

However, Sheinbaum clarified that her government has not received any requests to lead multilateral efforts, nor has it established communication with any other government for that purpose.
The Mexican leader on Wednesday urged the United Nations to “assume its role to prevent any bloodshed and to always seek the peaceful resolution of conflicts.” Sheinbaum insisted that, on the domestic front, supporting nonintervention is a legal and political obligation.
“It would be extremely serious if the president of Mexico were to agree with any intervention, because it would even be violating the Constitution,” she said.
On Wednesday, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil thanked Sheinbaum for her call to the United Nations amid escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas, as the United States carries out an unprecedented military deployment in the Caribbean and and the U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to amplify the conflict to unpredictable levels.
