The President of Mexico called for an end to US interventions.
According to Reuters, the President of Mexico demanded to prevent the interference of American institutions in the internal affairs of his country.
According to a letter published in the media, the president of Mexico has asked his American counterpart, Joe Biden, to stop the financial aid of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to warring groups in Mexico. In this letter, the president of Mexico openly criticized the interventionism of the United States.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has not yet specified which Mexican groups the United States should stop funding, but he has in the past accused several media organizations of being part of a The conservative movement is against his government.
In the letter, he said: “The administration of Washington, especially with the aid of the United States Agency for International Development, has for some time been funding organizations openly opposed to the legitimate government that I represent. This is clearly an interventionist action and against international law and the relations that should be established between free and sovereign states.”
The letter called for Biden’s intervention, saying the US State Department had announced in recent days that it was considering increasing funding for the US Agency for International Development.
Mexico sent a similar letter to the United States in 2021, asking the United States Agency for International Development to withdraw funding allocated to non-governmental organizations critical of the country’s government.
However, a spokeswoman for the United States Agency for International Development on Wednesday emphasized the deep partnership between the United States and Mexico. “We are committed to working with various local partners, including civil society, to advance inclusive, sustainable and locally-led development, and USAID is also working with Mexico’s development agency AMEXCID on the issues,” said the USAID official. “Emigration contributes.”
