The remarks come amid a broader diplomatic dispute following the U.S. Justice Department's indictment of 10 Mexican officials, including Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, for alleged ties to drug trafficking. Sheinbaum has refused to extradite Rocha Moya to the U.S., insisting that Mexico will review the case against him and rejecting what she calls 'interference' from the Trump administration.
Former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, describing him as different from his first term and influenced by 'false friends and advisers.' According to Reuters, López Obrador praised Sheinbaum as the 'best president Mexico has had in our time' and accused the U.S. of employing 'interventionist and unscrupulous practices' to bolster Mexico’s right-wing opposition.
The escalating rhetoric between the two countries comes at a critical moment, with next month's review of their free trade agreement with Canada looming. According to Los Angeles Times, Sheinbaum has vowed to continue her predecessor's fight against corruption and has arrested dozens of local officials accused of wrongdoing.
The diplomatic friction has not dented Sheinbaum's domestic standing, with a recent poll published by newspaper El Financiero showing her approval rating at 69%. According to Reuters, despite the strained relations, Sheinbaum's government remains focused on defending national sovereignty and independence.
López Obrador accused U.S. officials of seeking to undermine Mexico’s ruling Morena party, which he founded, under the guise of combating migration and narco-terrorism. According to TimesLIVE, López Obrador holds no official power but retains significant political influence, and his remarks amount to a forceful show of support for Sheinbaum.
