Mexico's President suspends relations with US, Canadian embassies over judiciary criticism.

Mexico's President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has suspended relations with the US and Canadian embassies after ambassadors from both countries criticized his plans to overhaul Mexico's judiciary. The US ambassador, Ken Salazar, described the proposal as a "risk" to democracy and a potential threat to Mexico's commercial relationship with the US. The suspension does not apply to relations between the countries as a whole and is intended to encourage diplomatic representatives to respect Mexico's independence and sovereignty.
