MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Thursday that the armed forces would build a new airport he plans for Mexico City at a military air base in the town of Santa Lucia north of the capital.
In a morning news conference, Lopez Obrador said that funds for the project’s construction were already part of the 2019 budget his team presented at the weekend.
