Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has announced a "pause" in the country's diplomatic relations with the U.S. after the latter's ambassador to the nation criticized his initiative to overhaul the judiciary. He said the decision also extends to Canada, whose representative also expressed concern over the measure.
"They have to learn to respect the sovereignty of Mexico," said AMLO during his daily news conference. He went on to say that he hadn't requested the American ambassador to leave the country, "but we do have to read him the Constitution." And added that while the government was not communicating with the American and Canadian embassies, the broader relationship continued as normal.
