“We know that Russia left its fingerprints on may elections in the world… My advice to Mexico is to pay close attention to what’s happening”,  said Rex Tillerson on the press-conference in Mexico following the results of meeting of Heads of Ministries of Foreign Affairs of South American countries.

Earlier, US National Security Advisor Herbert McMaster said that Russian government had launched a difficult campaign to influence the presidential elections in Mexico. According to him, there is already evidence of Russian interference in Mexican presidential elections.

In July, Mexico will hold presidential elections. According to public opinion polls, former Head of Government of Mexico City Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who heads the anti-corruption platform, is the leader of the presidential race.
