The massacre of nine American citizens has dealt a new blow to the Mexican president as he aims to free his country of foreign interference, enveloping him in a growing security crisis just as President Trump seeks re-election
MEXICO CITY - The massacre of nine American citizens has dealt a new blow to the Mexican president’s aim to free his country of foreign interference, enveloping him in a growing security crisis just as U.S. counterpart Donald Trump seeks re-election.
A history buff who makes frequent references to past U.S. and French invasions of Mexico, Lopez Obrador is pursuing a nationalist economic vision, and is staunchly committed to a policy of non-intervention in other countries’ affairs. After the migrant episode, the killings will give Trump more leverage on Mexico as he gears up for re-election, said Gustavo Madero, an opposition senator for Chihuahua.
Instead, murders have risen, and the tally in 2019 is on track to surpass last year’s record of more than 29,000. “It’s a matter for us deal with, the Mexican government, independently, and upholding our sovereignty,” he said.
