#Mexican President #ClaudiaSheinbaum confirmed she will not attend the upcoming Summit of the Americas, set to take place in the Dominican Republic in December after Cuba, #Venezuela, and #Nicaragua were excluded from the summit due to #US pressure.

#Sheinbaum also cited the need to attend to a national emergency in #Mexico after weeks of severe flooding that have caused dozens of casualties and widespread damage across the country.

Despite her absence, Mexico may still send a representative from the Foreign Ministry, she said.

📌 Watch how Sheinbaum responds to a journalist’s question about her refusal to attend an event in which the U.S. plays an outsized role.
