Mexico Pauses Relations with US and Canadian Embassies Over Judicial Reform Criticism

President López Obrador halts diplomatic engagement after ambassadors express concerns about proposed judicial changes.

The reform proposes electing judges, including Supreme Court justices, by popular vote.
Critics argue the reform could undermine judicial independence and increase criminal influence.
US and Canadian ambassadors have warned the changes could affect trade and investment.
Thousands of judicial workers in Mexico are striking against the proposed reform.
Mexico's new Congress will debate the reform next week, with no immediate vote expected.
