    SCOOP: US forces have intercepted and SEIZED a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of #Venezuela, sources familiar with the matter tell me, @GaripPatricia @BenBartenstein. The move marks a SERIOUS escalation of tensions between the two countries.

    SCOOP: Mexico DIDN'T agree to buy more U.S. farm product as part of a tariff deal, sources tell me and @nncattan, contradicting @realDonaldTrump's claim. Hard for Mexico to do MORE on that front. It's already the top buyer of yellow corn from Midwest states that voted for Trump

    Chile's 36-year-old leftist president: "It really pisses me off when you're from the left and you condemn the violation of human rights in Yemen or El Salvador, but you cannot talk about Venezuela or Nicaragua." Left parties to have a future must have just "one moral standard."

    AMLO begins his speech at a global climate summit by talking about Mexico's latest oil discoveries. As other leaders make specific pledges to cut emissions via cleaner energy sources, he suggests planting trees to absorb CO2 -- without providing any plan to actually emit less.

    Mexico's president, who has described himself as a humanist/pacifist, declines to comment on the violent assault on the Capitol by Trump supporters, saying he doesn't opine on other countries' affairs. Yet just on Monday, AMLO said he favors the U.S. pardoning Julian Assange 🤔

    To understand why AMLO was so persistent in defending his goal of Mexico producing as much oil as possible, it's important to remember where he comes from, and what crude means there. You can take El Peje out of Tabasco, but you can't take Tabasco out of El Peje.

    Yesterday, the U.S. President suggested Mexico may need U.S. military help to defeat drug cartels after a massacre of nine American women and children. Today, Mexico's president is highlighting a meeting with a rookie professional baseball player.

    AMLO's choice one year ago to cancel a new airport for Mexico City will cost more than $9 billion. That's $700 million more than it would have cost to FINISH the project. So a loss of almost $1 billion, and STILL no airport... By @andreanavarror

    Mexican businessmen reportedly attending Wednesday's dinner at the White House with AMLO and Trump: * Ricardo Salinas * Carlos Hank González * Bernardo Gómez * Olegario Vázquez Aldir * Daniel Chávez Remember when AMLO talked about a "mafia of power?"

    EXTRA: Trump intentó llamar a AMLO por teléfono el 17 de mayo para hablar sobre aranceles. No lo pudo ubicar. @lopezobrador_ estuvo en Chiapas, sin recepción, rumbo a un pueblo de 5,000 personas. Más en mi nota sobre sus casi 2 años sin salir de México

    With Mexico's economy in free fall, signs that the public security situation is worsening and virus deaths rising, AMLO holds his morning news conference standing in front of the presidential Dreamliner plane that he's still trying to sell after 20 months of unsuccessful efforts.

    This is quite a headline on AMLO and Mexico. Mother Jones is considered a liberal or progressive magazine in terms of where it fits on the American media spectrum.
    The most irresponsible president on the continent right now isn't Donald Trump
