Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the U.S. is interfering in his nation’s affairs after Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for greater protection for journalists in the Latin American country amid a rash of deadly violence against media workers.
“What he’s saying is not true,” the leader known as AMLO said at a press briefing Wednesday morning. “In all of the cases we are acting. There is no impunity. These are not state crimes.”
