MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador celebrated what he called his administration’s “cordial” relations with the United States on Monday as he marked his first 100 days in office. When Lopez Obrador took office Dec. 1, many feared the leftist was headed for a certain clash with conservative U.S. President Donald Trump. “We are going to reduce the strong contrast between luxury hotel zones and impoverished neighbourhoods,” Lopez Obrador said. However, Lopez Obrador’s fight against the country’s homicide epidemic hasn’t gone so well. “We have only been able to contain criminality, but not significantly reduce it as we had wished,” said Lopez Obrador.
