Mexico’s president accuses US of having disdain for Latin America as American taxpayers send billions of dollars to the region every year

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called on his US counterpart, Joe Biden, to put an end to the "disdain" shown by Washington towards Latin America for decades.

“It is time to put an end to this oblivion, this abandonment, this disdain for Latin America and the Caribbean as opposed to the good-neighbor policy of that titan of freedom that was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt,” López Obrador said in front of Biden at the start of a meeting with his government teams in Mexico City.
