Overview
- In a Spanish- and English-language communiqué, the Foreign Ministry categorically denied that its U.S. consulates engage in political activity.
- The ministry said consular work focuses on protection and services under the Vienna Convention and the 1943 Consular Convention, carried out with U.S. authorities and without promoting protests or mobilizations.
- It reported that U.S.-based Mexican consulates issued 1,295,181 passports in 2025, underscoring their service role for identification and tax obligations.
- The government response followed claims in Peter Schweizer’s book The Invisible Coup, promoted by President Donald Trump on social media, alleging Mexican interference.
- Sheinbaum said she spoke by phone with Trump and that the accusations were not discussed, while Mexican outlets warned the narrative could strain ties ahead of USMCA talks.
