Mexico will not be joining President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has declined President Trump’s invitation to join the board’s first meeting.
When asked by reporters why she declined the invitation, Sheinbaum said Mexico recognizes Palestine as a state and maintains that any plan for the Middle East must include formal recognition of a Palestinian state.

More than two dozen countries have joined Trump’s Board of Peace, which aims to secure lasting peace in conflict zones starting in Gaza.
