Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, seen at the National Palace in Mexico City in November, on Monday denounced the U.S. attack on Venezuela. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday again condemned the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, criticizing the Trump administration’s aggressive foreign policy in Latin America for threatening the stability of the hemisphere. “We categorically reject intervention in the internal affairs of other countries,” Sheinbaum said in her daily news conference. U.S. special forces abducted Maduro, Venezuela’s leftist president, and his wife, Cilia Flores, the former head of the National Assembly. She said Mexico was committed to fighting organized crime, and reminded the U.S. that it fuels that dynamic.
