Reading Time: < 1 minute

It has surprised many that there have been more disagreements between the U.S. and Mexico under a Democratic presidency than under a Republican one. What explains this? Is the relationship, so critical to both countries, at risk of a genuine deterioration? What can we expect from Andrés Manuel López Obrador as he tries to navigate a weakened economy, rising violence and the upcoming 2024 elections? Professor, political analyst, writer and activist Denise Dresser takes on these questions and others in this episode of the Americas Quarterly Podcast.
