【US media: The US once asked Mexico to expel 20 Russian spies, but was rejected】

Mexico City time December 8, 2025, the New York Times wrote in a press release:

Citing five U.S. officials, the CIA even compiled a list of more than twenty Russian spies who were posing as diplomats, but Mexican authorities refused to expel them. These accusations were raised by former U.S. President Joe Biden, but it remains unclear whether Washington is still calling for the expulsion of so-called spies with the arrival of Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, the Russian embassy in Mexico City told this newspaper that Russian diplomats are often the target of unfounded spy accusations, and that Russia and Mexico have extensive bilateral relations.
