Peru Breaks Diplomatic Ties With Mexico Over Asylum

Peru Breaks Diplomatic Ties With Mexico Over Asylum

Imagine two countries are like friends.

Peru and Mexico were friends, but Peru decided to stop being friends.

This happened because Mexico offered to give a place to stay (asylum) to a former leader from Peru named Betssy Chavez.

Peru's leaders were upset and said Mexico did something unfriendly.

Betssy Chavez used to work for another former leader of Peru, Pedro Castillo, who was removed from his job and arrested.

Chavez is also facing some legal trouble.
