Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed public concerns Monday regarding recent U.S. military activities near Mexico, following an attack on Venezuela that heightened regional tensions. The concerns stemmed from two specific incidents involving the U.S. military.

On Friday, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an advisory urging U.S. aircraft operators to "exercise caution" when flying over the eastern Pacific Ocean near Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America, citing ongoing "military activities." Sheinbaum stated that her administration waited for several hours until receiving written assurances from the U.S. government that no U.S. military flights would enter Mexican airspace.

According to Sheinbaum, the U.S. government did not provide advance notification to Mexico regarding these military operations. After receiving the assurances, the U.S. government provided precise coordinates of the operational areas. Subsequently, Mexican authorities released a statement clarifying that the FAA advisory did not pose any implications for Mexico.

The situation unfolded against a backdrop of heightened regional sensitivity following an attack on Venezuela, although details of that attack were not provided in the source material. The lack of prior notification from the U.S. government seemingly contributed to the initial apprehension within Mexico.

The Mexican government's response involved seeking and obtaining written guarantees from the U.S. government, followed by a public statement aimed at reassuring the Mexican populace. The situation is currently stable, with Mexican authorities asserting that the FAA advisory does not affect Mexican territory. Further developments will likely depend on any future U.S. military activities in the region and the level of communication between the two countries.
