Mexico President issues ‘respectful’ criticism of Canada for new visa requirements
Mexico City, MEXICO (Reuters) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador issued a “respectful reproach” to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a regular press conference on Thursday for reinstating some visa requirements for Mexican nationals.
The move by Canada, reported on Wednesday, is in a bid to curb the flow of asylum seekers, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp earlier said citing a senior official.
