MEXICO CITY.— During her “Mañanera del Pueblo” conference, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, reported this Friday the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, and the United States ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, met yesterday, ending the “diplomatic pause” that former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024) had imposed on the US ambassador due to “criticism” against the recent judicial reform.
“The chancellor met yesterday with the United States ambassador, with Ken Salazar, we have good relations with all the countries of the world,” stated the president, who nevertheless excluded Ecuador and Peru from this equation, with which Mexico maintains diplomatic conflicts.
