Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador claimed on Monday that traveling to Mexico is safer than to the United States, pushing back against criticism from U.S. authorities who warned against traveling to the country due to recent kidnappings and other violent activities.
“Mexico is safer than the United States,” Lopez Obrador said during his daily morning press briefing in Mexico City. “There’s no problem with traveling safely across Mexico. That’s something the U.S. citizens know, and something our fellow countrymen know.”
