Mexico's President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to appoint prominent political figures, including the former foreign minister, to key positions in the state energy sector. This move aligns with the policies of her mentor, current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who has been pushing for greater state control over the energy industry. Additionally, Sheinbaum's support for AMLO's constitutional reforms, which include 770 changes aimed at protecting his legacy and increasing political control, is adding to tensions with the United States. Vice President Kamala Harris discussed with Sheinbaum the potential for bolstering renewable energy in North America, despite ongoing trade disputes related to Mexico's fossil-fuels policy and market jitters.
