Mexico and Argentina Exchange Words: AMLO Responds to Javier Milei’s Accusations of Ignorance in Interview with CNN en Español

On Thursday, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador responded to comments made by Argentine President Javier Milei, who called him “ignorant” in an interview with CNN en Español. López Obrador accused Milei of being inaccurate and despising the people, to which the Argentine president responded that he doesn’t understand how Mexicans, known for their intelligence, could vote for someone who is ignorant.

López Obrador reiterated his confusion as to why Milei made these comments, especially considering his offensive statements towards other world figures, including accusing Pope Francis of being a communist. Despite this, the Mexican president did not announce any retaliatory measures against Argentina.

Milei justified his remarks by sharing examples of López Obrador’s past attacks on other leaders like the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro. The Mexican president emphasized that he would not sever ties with Argentina despite any differences between the two leaders.

In conclusion, despite the ongoing exchange of words between Milei and López Obrador, no official action was announced against Argentina by the Mexican president.
