During a morning conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that there are ongoing discussions regarding the possibility of Mexico serving as a mediator to facilitate dialogue between the governments of the United States and Cuba. She emphasized her administration's commitment to the principles of self-determination, non-intervention, and peaceful conflict resolution, stating that decisions regarding Cuba should be made solely by the Cuban people, and likewise for Mexico by Mexicans.

Sheinbaum highlighted Mexico's constitutional stance against foreign interference, invasion, and the importance of respecting the autonomy of nations. Her comments come in the context of escalating tensions that have arisen particularly since former President Donald Trump increased sanctions and other measures against Cuba, leading to a complex relationship between the two nations. In light of these tensions, Sheinbaum's initiative could be seen as an attempt to foster a more stable diplomatic environment in the region.

However, she acknowledged that any mediation effort would depend on the willingness of both the U.S. and Cuba to engage in dialogue. This positions Mexico in a potentially influential role, should both parties be open to negotiations. The success of such efforts could have significant implications for regional politics, as it may either ease tensions or highlight the ongoing divisions over U.S.-Cuba relations.
