Mexico’s AMLO Escalates Tensions with U.S. over Judicial Reform

Amidst escalating tensions with the U.S. government, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has pushed relations with Washington to a breaking point. Following criticisms of Mexico’s judicial reforms, AMLO demanded respect for Mexico’s sovereignty and temporarily suspended diplomatic relations with U.S. and Canadian embassies. This move further deepens existing divides between the two nations, fueled by disagreements over migration, drug trafficking, and economic policies.
