Mexico's Diplomatic Standoff with US and Canada Over Judicial Reform

Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has paused diplomatic relations with the US and Canadian embassies following criticisms of his proposed judicial reform. This reform package aims to overhaul Mexico's judiciary, raising concerns among US lawmakers and international investors about its potential impact on investment and legal commitments. A bipartisan group in the US Senate expressed alarm over the proposals, fearing they could undermine Mexico's commitments under international agreements. The reform has passed its first hurdle in Congress but faces opposition due to fears it could discourage foreign investment from major companies operating in Mexico.
