Mexico’s president taunts Biden over energy policy trade fight: ‘Ooooh, I’m so scared’

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.

Yup.
That is so totally alien to Dementia Joe. Creepy Joe's entire regime is devoted to screwing Americans and American companies.

No person in the multiverse regards Biden as anything other than a (barely) talking turd.

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.

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.

Is that the new definition of a recession?

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.
