Mexico, Brazil leaders silent as world congratulates Biden
President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, sometimes dubbed โthe Trump of the Tropicsโ for his populist, off-the-cuff style, has kept silent on Trumpโs loss. And Mexican President Andrรฉs Manuel Lรณpez Obrador refused to congratulate Biden at this point, saying he would wait until the legal challenges over the vote were resolved. On Saturday, Lรณpez Obrador was one of the few world leaders still willing to heap praise on Trump. But a Biden administration that only quietly presses Mexico to limit migrant crossings could leave Lรณpez Obrador in a more uncomfortable position. โDonald Trump will be president for two more months, but Joe Biden will be president for four more years!
