Mexico Responds to Trump's Threats and Venezuela Attack

The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, stated that America does not belong to any power, responding to recent statements by Donald Trump regarding the Monroe Doctrine and American dominance in the Western Hemisphere. Trump had referred to an update of the Monroe Doctrine with the Donroe document, asserting that American hegemony would not be challenged. Sheinbaum, on the other hand, emphasized that the American continent belongs to the people of its countries, and not to any doctrine or power. This statement is a clear reaction to American intentions and a defense of the sovereignty of Latin American nations.
