Mexico will not impose economic sanctions on Russia, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said in a daily news conference on Tuesday morning.
“We’re not going to take any kind of economic reprisal because we want to have good relations with all the governments in the world, and we want to be able to talk with the parties in conflict,” López Obrador said after he was asked about his stance on the matter.
“We do not consider that it corresponds to us, and we think that the best thing is to promote dialogue to achieve peace,” he said.
López Obrador also criticized the “censorship” of Russian state media, after social media companies announced they would take action to limit the reach of Russian-backed news channel RT.
“I don’t agree that there is censorship in the media; I spoke out against it when President Trump’s account was canceled, as I also do not agree with the fact that the media, from Russia or any other country, are censored,” he said.
