Former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has launched a sharp critique of the United States, accusing the superpower of chasing material wealth and military dominance while neglecting the needs of its own citizens.
Speaking publicly, López Obrador argued that the US has become consumed by what he called a permanent state of war, pouring resources into defense and global conflicts instead of addressing the everyday struggles of ordinary Americans. He suggested the nation is in a period of decline, driven by an obsession with projecting power abroad rather than investing in people at home.
The former president went further, announcing plans to write a book outlining his own recommendations for how the United States could change course. Details about the book’s content or publication timeline were not immediately available.
His comments come at a notable moment: they were made just one day after The New York Times reported that American federal agencies are reviewing allegations involving his son, Andrés Manuel López Beltrán. López Obrador did not directly address that report in his remarks, but the timing has drawn attention amid ongoing scrutiny of his family.
Since leaving office, López Obrador has remained a vocal commentator on international affairs, frequently weighing in on US policy and its relationship with Mexico and the broader region.
