Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador expressed his beliefs this week that if former President Donald Trump were to be convicted in connection to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office investigation, it would be to prevent him from running for reelection in 2024.

“Right now, former President Trump is declaring that they are going to arrest him,” Lopez Obrador said during a news conference on Tuesday, according to transcribed remarks from Newsweek.
