Mexico: As many world heads moved ahead to send President-elect Joe Biden congratulations on his U.S. election victory over Donald Trump, others were striking in their silence on Sunday.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced he would not congratulate Biden on his triumph until all legal difficulties are settled.
Democrat Joe Biden accomplished the polls on Saturday after success in the battleground state of Pennsylvania put him over the door of 270 Electoral College ballots.
Mexico is the United States' topmost business partner, with over $600 billion of yearly two-way trade, and the two-sided relationship with its northern neighbour is by considerably the most notable for Mexico.
"With respect to the U.S. election, we are continuing to wait until all the legal concerns have been proposed," Lopez Obrador stated at a news conference.
"I can't congratulate one contestant or the other. I want to remain idle until the electoral process is over."
Republican President Donald Trump has listed a number of lawsuits to challenge the decisions, but electoral executives in states throughout the country state there have been no indication of notable deception, and legal experts say Trump's struggles are unpromising to succeed.
The Mexican president combined his attention to his own accusations of deception in two presidential elections he fought, in 2006 and 2012, before obtaining on his third bid in 2018.
His hesitation in commenting on the U.S. results persists in contrast to well-wishings offered to Bolivia's former President Evo Morales last year notwithstanding opposition allegations of fraud in that re-election bid.
Mexican officials announced the conclusion was borne of a passion for avoiding provoking Trump while he remained in the White House.
"Bolivia doesn't have a 3,000-km border with Mexico," an official announced of the apparent difference. "It's necessary to have a couple of months of peace and good neighbourly relations."
