Faced with continued US pressure on Venezuela, two major Latin American countries, Mexico and Brazil, called on the 17th to exercise restraint and resolve differences through peaceful means. UN Secretary General Guterres also made the same appeal. Mexican President Simbaum called on the US and the two countries to resolve their differences through dialogue at a regular press conference that morning, and urged the United Nations to take action. She called for the United Nations to “take responsibility to prevent any bloodshed from happening.” Simbaum reiterated that Mexico opposes any form of interference in Venezuelan affairs by outside forces, and proposed that Mexico is willing to provide “any possible venue for negotiations or meetings” between the two countries.
