Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador insisted his country was safer than the US despite the recent high-profile deadly kidnapping of four Americans by a cartel group.
Speaking at his daily morning briefing on Monday, Obrador proclaimed: “Mexico is safer than the United States. There is no issue with traveling safely through Mexico. That’s something the US citizens also know, just like our fellow Mexicans that live in the US.”
“In the past few years is when more Americans have come to live in Mexico. So, what’s happening? Why the paranoia?” Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador claimed that his country is safer than the United States.Obrador’s claim comes after four Americans were kidnapped by a cartel group in Mexico.“These conservative politicians … dominate the majority of the news media in the United States,” he said. “This violence is not a reality. It is pure, vile manipulation.”
