Claudia Sheinbaum Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
On Friday, January 2, a dramatic 6.5-magnitude earthquake from Guerrero state rocked southern and central Mexico, interrupting President Claudia Sheinbaums first news briefing of 2026 in Mexico City. According to the Associated Press and DWS News, seismic alarms blared mid-sentence, forcing Sheinbaum and her team to evacuate calmly as buildings swayed and residents fled streets in panic. She resumed shortly after, confirming no serious damage with Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado, though assessments continued amid aftershocks.
The real firestorm hit over the weekend as Sheinbaum unleashed a fierce condemnation of U.S. military strikes capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Mexico News Daily reports her social media post and Foreign Ministry statement blasted the action as a violation of UN Charter Article 2, demanding respect for sovereignty and warning of regional instability. She invoked Mexicos Estrada Doctrine of non-intervention, per Hindustan Times, stressing collaboration with Washington on security but never subordination. Venezuela thanked her firm stance, as noted by Mexico Solidarity Project.
This drew a sharp retort from President Trump, who told Fox News Sheinbaum fears the cartels running Mexico and hed begged off U.S. help to take them out. He ominously declared something has to be done with Mexico, echoing in Politico and Latin Times amid his Venezuela boasts. Sheinbaum reiterated her position in a briefing, vowing to review ties with Caracas constitutionally.
No major business moves or other public appearances surfaced, and social media buzz centered on these clashes, amplifying her image as a principled defender of Latin American autonomy with potential long-term foreign policy ripples.
