Mexico's ex-president AMLO denounces US pressure on Sheinbaum

Former Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a public statement accusing United States officials of seeking to weaken the ruling Morena party and bolster right‑wing opposition ahead of upcoming elections. He pledged “unconditional” support for President Claudia Sheinbaum and warned that U.S. actions are driven by political and electoral motives. AMLO recalled his own era of dialogue with former U.S. President Donald Trump, saying the current approach risks “extraterritorial actions without proper judicial process” and could violate human rights. He concluded with the remark, “Por el bien de todos, que regrese el otro Trump.” The comments highlight tensions in Mexico‑U.S. relations and internal Mexican politics.
