Outgoing Mexican President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador put the embassies of the United States and Canada on time out Tuesday after their top diplomats and other influential figures weighed in against controversial proposed reforms to Mexico’s judicial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The relationship with Ken Salazar is good, but it’s on pause. We’re going to give ourselves our time,” L\u00f3pez Obrador\u2014who is widely known as AMLO\u2014 said<\/a> during his morning press conference, referring to the U.S. ambassador. The president said the “pause” also applies to Canada, whose ambassador, Graeme Clark, voiced alarm over the proposed reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They have to learn to respect Mexico’s sovereignty, because we are not going to give them advice there, nor to say that it is okay and what is wrong,” he added. “We want them to be respectful, there is a reciprocal relationship in terms of sovereignty.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
