Mexico's president says he won't congratulate Biden until Trump's election lawsuits are resolved
On November 8, Joe Biden was declared president-elect by most major news outlets after the state of Pennsylvania was called for the former vice president, leaping him across 270 Electoral College votes, which is the threshold for victory.
Mexico is the top trading partner with the US, with roughly $600 billion in annual cross-border trade.
"With regard to the US election, we are going to wait until all the legal matters have been resolved," López Obrador said. "I can't congratulate one candidate or the other. I want to wait until the electoral process is over."

(6,212 posts)and says he sees a lot of himself in trump. Does he see his citizens as murderers and rapists. That is what trump called them. Anyone who compares themselves with trump has a serious problem and perhaps Mexico should also vote him out.

(34,195 posts)I think Iran would be happy to have Trump out although they have kept quiet.
And it is not unusual for North Korea's Kim to stay quiet.

(15,325 posts)...a remark to the next US President.
Whether its customary or not, isn't the point I think.
It is Who is on the list & their affiliation with the likes of Trump.

(54,477 posts)I'm sure Trump, or whoever is whispering in his ear this hour, is still capable of issuing some destructive spiteful executive orders that could affect trade or border issues with Mexico. Mexico has nothing to lose by staying officially silent until they think they will suffer no further damage from making an official statement of congratulation. I'm confident that they have already quietly reached out to Biden through back channels.

Mexico will have more to say when the Kraken is removed from their border.
