The expert in International Relations asserted that one of the consequences is that diplomatic problems are inherited Claudia Sheinbaum, so the next chancellor, Juan Ramon de la Fuentewould be in charge of rebuilding those relationships.

“How are we going to allow the ambassador, with all due respect, this is not a matter of dispute, but how are we going to allow him to think that what we are doing is wrong, but we are not going to tell him to leave the country, But we do have to read him the Constitutionwhich is like reading him the riot act.”
The President Lopez Obrador He said that “the relationship with the United States ambassador, Ken Salazar, is on hold; a pause means that we are going to give ourselves our time.”
He added that “the bilateral relationship with the United States continues, but hopefully there will be a ratification on their part that they will be respectful of the sovereignty from Mexico, while that does not happen, there is a pause with the embassy.”
He said that “if there is no respect, while I am here, we will not allow any violation of our sovereignty, I will leave, I have 30 days left“But as long as I’m here, I won’t allow it.”
Lopez Obrador He conditioned the end of the pause with both countries to a statement that they respect the decisions of Mexico.
