Mexico declines Trump’s Gaza peace board invite, cites Palestine representation and Canada ties
Mexico’s president said on the mañanera that the government declined Donald Trump’s invitation to join his Board of Peace because Palestine would not be represented at the inaugural meeting; Mexico will participate only as an observer and emphasized recognition of Palestine. The briefing also highlighted a strengthened Mexico–Canada economic relationship and reaffirmed that the USMCA remains in place, with officials noting continued investment interest and economic ties as priorities.
