In 2018,Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) of the leftist Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) won not only the presidential election but also the election of both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate with his coalition. It was estimated that Mexican economic growth was higher than that of previous year,and performed better in the region compared with other countries,but still lack of sustained growth. To crackdown crimes,combat corruption and poverty,and reduce inequality are the tough priorities of Mr. López Obrador’s government. Mexico signed the USMCA with the US and Canada in the year and was the first member country of CPTPP that ratified the agreement.
