Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters Monday that her country stands against U.S. intervention in Latin America, after the U.S. military seized Now-deposed Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in Caracas and brought him to a federal court in New York.
Mexico and the rest of the continent are now closely watching for signs as to whether the United States will take further military action in the region.
“We categorically reject intervention in the internal affairs of other countries,” Sheinbaum said.
Sheinbaum reiterated that while Mexico is willing to collaborate with the United States to fight against drug trafficking, it expects its northern neighbor to not violate its sovereignty.
President Donald Trump has said he would consider military action against cartels in Mexico. He told reporters in the days after the attack on Venezuela that the United States would “have to do something” in Mexico about drugs.
Maduro appeared in a federal court in New York and pleaded not guilty to the drug trafficking charges the Trump administration used to justify his capture.
