Former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador publicly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for alleged election interference and interventionist policies aimed at destabilizing Mexico's democracy. In a five-page letter, he condemned the recent U.S. indictments of ten Mexican officials, viewing them as politically motivated attacks against his party, Morena. The former president expressed concern over the deterioration of U.S.-Mexico relations, emphasizing the threat to national sovereignty. He argued that Trump's current strategies are a departure from their previous cooperative relationship.
