MEXICO, May 06, 2021 (EFE).- The president of the United States, Joe Biden, offered this Wednesday, May 05, help to Mexico after the accident that occurred on Line 12 of the Metro, in which a train carrying passengers fell twenty meters down after an overpass bridge collapsed leaving at least 25 deaths.
Biden expressed his “deepest” condolences to those who have lost loved ones and “best wishes” for recovery for the injured, in a statement released by the White House on May 5th.
“The United States joins the people of Mexico in mourning the loss of life due to the collapse of a train overpass in Mexico City,” said the president.
Biden recalled that both countries, “as neighbors and partners”, have a close bond, and stressed that the United States is willing to assist Mexico in recovering from this tragedy, although he did not offer details on that aid.
