Mexico's Leftist President-elect AMLO Promises Sweeping Changes on Corruption, Poverty, Drug War

In a landslide, voters have elected Andri(C)s Manuel Lopez Obrador to be Mexico's next president. The former mayor of Mexico City-who is known as AMLO-will become Mexico's first leftist president in decades. On Monday, Lopez Obrador and President Donald Trump discussed immigration and trade in a phone call. Trump called on Mexico's president-elect to collaborate on border security and NAFTA, telling reporters, "I think he's going to try and help us with the border. We have unbelievably bad border laws, immigration laws, the weakest in the world, laughed at by everybody in the world. And Mexico has very strong immigration laws, so they can help us." We speak with John Ackerman and Irma Sandoval in Mexico City. Irma Sandoval is a professor and director of the Center for the Study of Corruption at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. She is set to become comptroller general in President-elect Andri(C)s Manuel Lopez Obrador's government. John Ackerman is the editor of the Mexican Law Review and a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He is also a columnist for Proceso magazine and La Jornada newspaper.
