Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has introduced energy policies focused on “energy sovereignty” in Mexico, promoting state-run companies over the private sector. While this measure has been popular domestically, it has caused conflict abroad, brewing tensions with the United States and Canada. The two countries have called for a trade dispute, alleging that AMLO’s energy policies are discriminatory against international companies and do not abide by the United States - Mexico - Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade agreement.
