Several Latin American leaders have expressed concern over the recent deployment of three U.S. warships near Venezuelan waters in the Caribbean. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized adherence to the principle of non-intervention and condemned the U.S. military presence as a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. Sheinbaum also questioned the motives of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) but affirmed ongoing cooperation with the United States without compromising Mexico's sovereignty. Brazilian presidential advisor Celso Amorim described the U.S. naval movement as worrisome, highlighting the regional unease. Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected the U.S. military deployment, warning that an invasion could turn Venezuela into a conflict zone comparable to Syria. Bolivian President Luis Arce strongly condemned the U.S. military presence near Venezuela. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Navy is monitoring potential threats in Venezuela, with its commander noting that a possible distancing between Brazil and the United States could pose challenges. The situation has drawn criticism from multiple Latin American governments, reflecting heightened regional tensions regarding U.S. military activities in the Caribbean.
