By not congratulating Biden, Mexico’s president reveals he sees a lot of himself in Trump

There were also some glaring absences, such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who refrained from formally commenting on a contest he has long been suspected of trying to sway.

In a curt statement, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador explained his intention to “wait until all legal issues” are settled. “President Trump has been very respectful with us,” he said. “We don’t want to be imprudent.”
