Mexico rejects claims its consulates in U.S. are involved in politics

​Mexico's President Claudia ​Sheinbaum on ‌Friday said ​that it is "completely false" that Mexican consulates ‌in the United States are involved in politics or pushing an anti-U.S. agenda, after ‌the U.S. Department of State on ‌Thursday launched a review into the over 50 Mexican consulates in the country.

"The suggestion ⁠that ​Mexican consulates ⁠are engaging in politics in the United States ⁠is completely false. What the consulates do - ​which is their role, just like ⁠that of the U.S. consulate in Mexico ⁠or ​those of other countries - is simply to protect their citizens," Sheinbaum ⁠said during her daily morning press conference, adding ⁠that ⁠she has no information about the State Department review.
