Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Saturday said that would refrain from declaring either of the US presidential candidates as the winner until any legal issues are resolved, $4.

On November 8, Joe Biden $4 by most major news outlets after the state of Pennsylvania was called for the former vice president, leaping him across 270 Electoral College votes, which is the threshold for victory.

"With regard to the US election, we are going to wait until all the legal matters have been resolved," López Obrador said. "I can't congratulate one candidate or the other. I want to wait until the electoral process is over."

President Donald Trump's campaign $4 in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, along with $4, charging that there has been widespread voter fraud, but no major instances of irregularities have been reported in any state.

Mexican officials have stated that López Obrador's decision is rooted in not angering Trump while he was still president, $4.

"Bolivia doesn't have a 3,000-km border with Mexico," an official said. "It's important to have a couple of months of peace and good neighborly relations."

While Trump has pressed for a full-scale border wall between the US-Mexico border for years, even proclaiming that Mexico would pay for its construction, $4 that the wall construction will cease once he is in office.

While López Obrador is remaining neutral in declaring a winner, he publicly lauded Trump's hands-off approach to critiquing Mexico's economic policies.

"President Trump has been very respectful with us," he said. "And we are thankful that he has not meddled."
