There’s a brewing trade dispute between the U.S. and Mexico on energy policy, and it’s getting ugly fast.
“Ooooh, I’m so scared,” Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) said at a Wednesday press conference, referencing a popular Mexican song and taunting the Biden administration by ordering his staff to play it.
When reporters asked him how he proposes to solve the policy spat, AMLO was defiant: “Nothing will happen.”
What is going on here?
It started early on Wednesday, when U.S. officials argued that AMLO’s energy policies favor Mexico’s state-run electrical utility and oil companies and undermine American business.
The U.S. said it was seeking “dispute settlement consultations” under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USCMA), a trade agreement meant to ensure balanced, reciprocal trading between North American nations. It was a first step in a process that could lead to tariffs on some Mexican products.

Imagine, a leader looking out for his own country, the nerve of that guy!
The Mexican President is following a Mexico First Policy! How xenophobic of him. /s
AMLO is a hundred times the leader that BiteMe or Truedorp are.
Imagine, a leader looking out for his own country, the nerve of that guy!
Yup.
That is so totally alien to Dementia Joe. Creepy Joe's entire regime is devoted to screwing Americans and American companies.
Oh boo hoo. The liberals are such a victims. Oh boo hoo hoo.
Now even the Mexican President is laughing at Dementia Joe. Same as Putin is.
No person in the multiverse regards Biden as anything other than a (barely) talking turd.
Mexico’s president taunts Biden over energy policy trade fight: ‘Ooooh, I’m so scared’
Joe, are you gonna let them make you look stupid? Ooofff! What am I saying? That train already left the station.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador
but everyone knew him as Nancy.
Actually what was his private school chums’ nickname for him as a boy? Andy? Manny? Lopy? Obie? Maybe Bunny.
You mean the basket case called Pemex?
AMLO has a standing army of 10s of millions of Mexican citizens on our soil. AMLO has economic pirates raping the US taxpayer and worker and sending billions of dollars to Mexico. AMLO has a massively funded and violent narco terrorist organization running US immigration policy. Mexico beat the USA. It just took a little while.
Obrador, even though a socialist, liked and respected Trump - because Trump respected him and Mexico’s interests.
President Trump had a great relationship with the left wing Mexican president.
Of course Biden is the real racist fool.
IIRC they reported a positive GDP 2nd quarter. DOH! Or is it “el DOH!”. 🌽🌮
Reminds me of Carter being insulted.
IIRC they reported a positive GDP 2nd quarter.
Is that the new definition of a recession?
Add Germany...and the EU
🤔😅✌
Problem with Mexico is the pot calling the kettle black. They’ll always hate us-failed state and all. If the hispanic vote helps us we’ll win big time and they’ll be hope.
