The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, expressed his opinion regarding a possible arrest of former US President Donald Trump in his morning conference from Oaxaca. López Obrador pointed out that this would be undemocratic, since it might prevent Trump from appearing on the United States electoral ballot. In addition, he mentioned that he himself was the victim of the “manufacturing of a crime” to prevent him from being a candidate at the time.
For his part, Donald Trump said he believes he will be arrested while a New York prosecutor investigates whether he ordered the payment of money to women to keep quiet regarding alleged sexual encounters with him. The grand jury in Manhattan has heard from witnesses, including former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who says he arranged the payments in 2016. Trump denies the meetings, calling the investigation a “witch hunt” to sabotage his presidential campaign. in 2024.
The case being investigated by the New York prosecutor might lead to charges once morest Trump, who has already faced several scandals during his presidential term. Among them is the investigation into possible collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential election and his subsequent impeachment trial for pressuring Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, his opponent in the 2020 presidential election.

In the past, Mexico has had a contentious relationship with Trump, especially over immigration and trade issues. López Obrador has taken a more conciliatory stance toward the Joe Biden administration, but his comment regarding Trump’s possible arrest suggests there is still some tension between the two countries.
In conclusion, the possible arrest of Donald Trump would generate important consequences in US politics and might affect the relationship between Mexico and the United States. On the other hand, the case in New York represents another scandal in Trump’s political career and might lead to charges once morest him.
