MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Friday branded Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg "arrogant" for his statement on Thursday that condemned the recent behavior of U.S. President Donald Trump and indefinitely blocked him from Facebook.

Reiterating his opposition to Trump being frozen out of social media platforms after the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday by Trump supporters, Lopez Obrador said he had read the "Facebook owner's" comments with alarm.
