President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday reiterated Mexico’s opposition to foreign interventions and interference as the United States ramps up its aggressive posture against Venezuela.
Speaking at her morning press conference, Sheinbaum also called on the United Nations to assume its “role” and prevent bloodshed in Venezuela.
Her remarks came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that he was ordering “a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into, and out of, Venezuela,” a move the Venezuelan government called a “grotesque threat.”
Trump also wrote that “the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a foreign terrorist organization” by the U.S. government, and declared that “Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled in the history of South America.”
