While some world leaders have offered their congratulations to the US president-elect Joe Biden, one is being more cautious.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is known as Amlo, says it's too soon - and that he wants to wait for "all legal issues" to be resolved, referring to lawsuits filed by the Trump team, alleging irregularities in vote counting. Trump has not presented evidence for these claims.
"We don't want to be imprudent," Amlo told reporters earlier on Saturday.
"We don't want to act lightly and we want to respect people's self-determination and rights."
