Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Monday (August 26) responded "yes" when asked in a morning press conference whether he thought the United States was using its ambassador to interfere in domestic affairs.
Last Thursday (August 22), U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar labeled a judicial reform that would see judges elected by popular vote a threat to Mexican democracy by exposing its judiciary to the influence of organized crime, and said it put the U.S.-Mexico trade relationship at risk.
Lopez Obrador emphasized the need to respect nations' independent sovereignties while assuring that relations remain friendly with Salazar and U.S. President Joe Biden.
The judicial reform could cause a break in U.S.-Mexican trade relations, Lopez Obrador said.
