Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday fiercely defended his recent fact-finding excursion to Latin America from critics who claim it was futile since he has no control over foreign policy.
Hizzoner, during an Oct. 10 news conference, told reporters his four-day trip to Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia last week achieved “exactly what we wanted to accomplish.” The defense came in the face of criticism from groups such as the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) that argued the jaunt was a waste of time given the mayor’s lack of influence over international affairs.
