AMLO Backs Sheinbaum Amid US Tensions

Former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has re-entered public debate by publishing a letter defending President Claudia Sheinbaum's fight against crime. Sheinbaum thanked him for the support and used the letter to push back against US accusations related to drug trafficking. AMLO also accused US officials of trying to weaken the ruling Morena party and criticized Donald Trump, stirring tensions in the bilateral relationship. Kenia López, a political figure, asked AMLO not to interfere in the US accusations. The episode marks one of AMLO's recent public reappearances since leaving office.
