Lopez Obrador Calls U.S. Military Aid to Ukraine 'Irrational,' Urges More Funding for Latin America Development Instead

Mexican President Lopez Obrador criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine, calling it "irrational" and unnecessary.

Lopez Obrador urged the U.S. to devote more resources to economic development in Latin America and the Caribbean instead of Ukraine.

He criticized the U.S. Congress for not approving more aid to Latin America and the Caribbean.

Lopez Obrador said the U.S. has allocated $30 to $50 billion for the Ukraine war, which he called the "most irrational thing."

Although critical of Western aid to Ukraine, Mexico has backed some U.N. resolutions condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
