Protests in Mexico following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the United States on Saturday varied in mood between celebration and criticism, as President Claudia Sheinbaum and other Latin American leaders condemned the intervention.

MEXICO CITY, Jan 7 - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday that Mexico is not sending more oil to Cuba than it has historically, but amid recent events in Venezuela, Mexico has turned into an "important supplier" of crude to Cuba.

Some in Mexico expressed concerns about what the intervention could signal closer to home. However, Venezuelans living in Mexico celebrated Maduro's capture.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has sought to safeguard Mexican sovereignty while cooperating with the US on key issues.

In the wake of the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the Mexican government has found itself traversing the most delicate balancing act since President Donald Trump began his second term: strongly condemning the operation while doubling down on bilateral cooperation lest Mexico find itself in Trump’s crosshairs next.

As Venezuelans living in Mexico process news of Maduro's capture, their hopes and fears must exist alongside Mexicans' vocal condemnation, highlighting fundamentally different perspectives on what happened on Jan.

Mexico has emerged as a key fuel supplier to Havana as the United States prepares to seize control of Venezuelan oil and the administration of U.S.
