Mexican president claims that criminal groups are 'respectful' and 'respect the citizenry' There are so many instances of criminal groups extorting and harming the citizenry in Mexico. These are jarring comments.

Sadly the reporter allows the President to escape with incomplete and very misleading responses. Worth watching for those well informed on Mexico.
So concerning for bilateral relations to see such unfounded accusations. Tan preocupante para las relaciones bilaterales ver acusaciones tan infundadas.
•AMLO says that the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is behind the hacking of Mexico’s Defense Ministry email servers that revealed among other things luxurious trips by the Defense Minister’s family paid w/public funds
•AMLO presented no proof

Mexico's foreign policy’s recurrent ignominies and blunders are not the result of an incompetent strategy or a mistake, but rather a series of tantrums lacking any direction or purpose.
Yes arrests of criminal gang leaders are not enough, but they are part of a series of law enforcement and justice actions that are needed to improve the situation which includes reducing the high levels of impunity in Mexico. Improvements are needed on both sides of the border.

Having served every president from Ford to Obama, I am grateful that my other Foreign Service colleagues and I did our best to defend our constitution and our nation whether or not we personally agreed with a policy. Our duty was to the constitution and to our country.

The US should be helping Mexico, and Mexico should be cooperating with the US in these law enforcement efforts. Progress will come with closer cooperation, not by maintaining barriers to better judicial, law enforcement and related work to weaken these deadly criminal groups.

•Mexico’s AMLO has repeatedly denied that the US provided help in capturing Ovidio Guzmán & Rafael Caro Quintero

We need an open debate looking at facts and what steps can help all three peoples prosper, not rely on old biases from any nation’s history. Partners can find ways forward.
“We will not concede”
As in the pre-NAFTA days, AMLO says that he will use Mexico’s Independence Day to defend his pro-statist, pro-fossil fuels energy policy.
AMLO bets on an old-school nationalism vs US/Canada’s claim that Mexico is in breach of USMCA.
If AMLO had attended the Los Angeles Summit of the Americas, I think he could have played a constructive role in agreeing to paths for hemispheric cooperation going forward. We need ongoing work to help put the hemisphere on a better track.
