Russia is also increasing disinformation efforts, especially online, to turn Mexicans against America and Europe, causing British and French officials to raise concerns with Mexico’s Foreign Ministry, officials said.

Those efforts prompted the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City to appoint its first Russia watcher this summer, and the French Embassy to create a disinformation officer role.

The Mexican government declined to comment.

The Russian Embassy said in an email that Russian diplomatic missions were “frequently the target of unfounded accusations of espionage” and that Russia and Mexico have had “a wide range of bilateral relations.”

It is not clear whether the United States is still pushing for expulsions under President Trump, whose policy toward Russia has swung between courting the Kremlin and threatening it.
