Tensions Rise Between Peru and Mexico's President AMLO.
Peru's President Dina Boluarte has criticized her Mexican counterpart, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, as "very ignorant" after he said he does not want economic or trade ties with Peru while Boluarte is in power. The dispute between the two leaders has escalated over the contentious ouster of Peru's former president, Pedro Castillo, last year. Lopez Obrador argued the removal and subsequent jailing of Castillo was unconstitutional and has repeatedly backed fellow leftist Castillo. Diplomatic relations between the two Latin American nations were already strained, with Peru's Congress also classifying Colombia's President Gustavo Petro "persona non grata" for similar criticisms of Boluarte.
