Mexico’s president downplays U.S. claim of Mexico hosting the most Russian spies in the world

Mexico's president on Friday said he had no information about comments from a U.S. general that Russian intelligence agents are based in Mexico, and reiterated Mexico's non-interventionist stance.

"We don't have information on this," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference when asked about the general's remarks, adding that the government would not impede any foreigner from carrying out legal activities.

"Mexico is a free, independent, sovereign country … We're not going to Moscow to spy on anybody, nor to Beijing… nor to Washington," he said . . .
