Peru Bars Mexico's President Over Asylum Amid Coup Trial
Peru's Congress voted to declare Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata for granting asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betsi Chávez, who is facing trial for allegedly aiding a coup attempt in 2022. This move has escalated tensions between the two countries, resulting in Peru breaking off formal ties with Mexico.
The fallout began when Mexico granted asylum to Chávez after the ousting of former President Pedro Castillo. The situation has led to a diplomatic standoff, with Peru demanding Mexico's top diplomat to leave the country.
The incident highlights the strained diplomatic relations between Peru and Mexico.
