Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador hasn’t left the country in almost two years, and he won’t do it for a summit of top global leaders in Japan this month.
AMLO, as he’s known, has focused his first six months as president on domestic issues, from fighting corruption and insecurity to bolstering state-owned oil company Petroleos Mexicanos. That’s occupying so much of his time that on Tuesday he made public a long-expected decision to skip a Group of 20 leaders’ meeting in Osaka on June 28-29.
