White House Denies Mexican President’s Claim That Biden Is Trying to Derail Trump Ahead of 2024 Election – By Melanie Arter (CNS News) / Mar 22 2023
(CNSNews.com) – The White House on Tuesday pushed back on comments made by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in which he accused the Biden administration of trying to derail former President Trump’s 2024 presidential bid and saying that fentanyl is not a Mexican problem but a U.S. problem..
“Right now, former President Trump is declaring that they are going to arrest him,” López Obrador, who is also known by his initials AMLO, said during a press conference. “If that were the case…it would be so that his name doesn’t appear on the ballot.”
“I say this because I too have suffered from the fabrication of a crime, when they didn’t want me to run,” López Obrador said Tuesday while discussing Trump. “And this is completely anti-democratic…. Why not allow the people to decide?”
“I wanted to ask you about some comments by the President of Mexico, who’s been very critical of the administration recently. Just today, he suggested that the U.S. had blown up the Nord Stream pipeline, suggested the administration was trying to derail Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, and then, recently, he said that fentanyl is a U.S. problem, not a Mexican problem,” a reporter said.
