Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Wednesday pushed back against a U.S. complaint over his energy policy, saying his government had done nothing wrong, and even played a song to show that he was not scared of how it would play out.
The United States' request for dispute settlement talks under a regional trade deal marks an escalation of international concern over Lopez Obrador's efforts to strengthen Mexico's state energy companies at the expense of private investors.
The dispute specifically relates to measures taken by Mexico which the U.S. Trade Representative argues undermine American companies in Mexico and U.S.-produced energy in favor of Mexican state-owned power utility Comision Federal de Electricidad and oil firm Petroleos Mexicanos . Canada quickly said it would support the U.S. challenge, although Lopez Obrador argued the step initiated by the office the USTR was actually more about Mexican opposition to his policies than U.S. concerns.
