Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), defended President Trump in remarks at a press conference Tuesday in Oaxaca over reports of Trump’s imminent arrest over alleged 2016 hush money payments to two women. AMLO also slammed Joe Biden over the bombing of the Nordstream pipeline, with his remarks coming hours before a scheduled meeting with Biden climate envoy John Kerry.
“With all due respect, President Trump, former president, is declaring that they are going to arrest him, I think today for a matter, supposedly, as the lawyers say, allegedly, loving, that they are going to arrest him, if that were the case, then everyone would know, why not we are sucking our finger, which is so that it does not appear on the ballot,” he said in his morning conference from Oaxaca.
“And if I say this it is because I suffered from the fabrication of a crime, because they did not want me to be a candidate and that is completely undemocratic, because the people are not allowed to be the ones to decide, but all this (I say it) like of friends, just to see if they are changing, because already as they say colloquially, already chole“.
