More than one Latin America leader has been overthrown and murdered for less than this.

Written by columnist and WSJ editorial board member Mary Anastasia O’Grady and published under the headline “Mexico moves to seize American assets,” the piece notes that Mexican authorities recently shut down three U.S.-owned fuel storage terminals in Mexico.“There’s trouble brewing between Mexico and the U.S., and I’m not talking about immigration,” O’Grady wrote.

“President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s desire to put the state in full control of the energy industry, as it was in the 1970s, is running head-first into treaty obligations on trade and investment. The arbitrary closing of private gasoline-storage facilities is a fraction of the problem,” she said before condemning the president’s electricity sector agenda.
“Yet while ‘reform’ normally suggests improvement, this legislation, if passed, will take Mexico, and North American integration, backward,” she wrote.

If you're a Latin American president, you can create a corrupt narcostate, like Honduras, or you can slaughter environmental, labor, and human rights activists, like Colombia, and the United States won't care at all, just as long as you subscribe to neoliberal capitalism.
But if you dare to nationalize the natural resources of your country and the property of American corporations for the benefit of your citizens? For the past 130 years, that is BY FAR the biggest crime that you can commit!

O’Grady acknowledged that private companies would still be able to operate in the Mexican electricity market, “but they would have to sell to … [the] CFE, which would set prices as a monopsony and would run a monopoly in selling to users.”
...The columnist asserted that the constitutional bill also violates the new North American free trade agreement, the USMCA, “as it abrogates contracts, capriciously strips investors of value, eliminates market-based competition, discriminates against private capital, cancels access to activities not reserved as exclusive in the agreement, and eliminates independent regulators, including in hydrocarbons.”

Put another way, AMLO is going to violate NAFTA so that he can protect Mexican from being price gouged by private energy companies. (Think the opposite of Texas.)
Time and time again, preventing American corporations from getting outsized profits by pillaging the people of Latin America gets a very negative response from the CIA, and its various front companies, like USAID. It often forces the U.S. to "bring democracy" to that country. And if the CIA isn't up the task, then the U.S. military often is.

Speaking of USAID, they were active before Mexico's mid-term elections happened this past summer, and the CIA left it's fingerprints all over it.

President López Obrador has been railing against the United States’ funding of what he says are political groups opposed to his administration, accusing the U.S. government of meddling in Mexico’s internal affairs.
...
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) have provided approximately US $591.5 million to organizations operating in Mexico, according to documents reviewed by the newspaper Milenio.

That figure — made up of the amounts the two agencies sent to Mexico in 2019, 2020 and the first five months of this year — is more than double the entire 2021 budget of Mexico’s Interior Ministry, Milenio said.

Despite the U.S. dropping an enormous amount of money into what was essentially a soft-coup attempt, the CIA failed. It seems that AMLO learned the "wrong lesson" from this, because since then he's been pissing off U.S. imperialists right and left.
Since then AMLO has given humanitarian aid to Cuba, when we are busy trying to starve the island. He's hosted a Latin American summit with the stated aim of weakening the Washington-based Organization of American States (OAS). He passed a law that DEA agents will no longer have immunity in Mexico. He's given refuge the Bolivia's president that our U.S. supported, right-wing coup tried to murder.

Given all of that, with his left-wing policies that are causing fury and anger in Washington and Wall Street, and amongst the elites in Mexico, what opinion do you think the voters of Mexico have?

President López Obrador set aside a few minutes for boasting at the tail end of his morning press conference on Wednesday, presenting a graph published in a British newspaper that showed he is the second most popular of 13 world leaders...
The tracker, whose approval ratings are based on a seven-day moving average of the results of surveys conducted with adult residents in 13 countries, currently shows that López Obrador’s approval rating is 65%.
...“Can’t you enlarge it, really, really big?” López Obrador asked an aide, referring to the projected graph.
