据彭博社6月2日报道称，由于墨西哥总统奥夫拉多尔呼吁该国在能源生产方面实现自给自足，墨西哥正启动耗资77亿美元（1500亿比索）的炼油厂建设。
总统奥夫拉多尔（AMLO）周日在塔巴斯科Paraiso的一场活动上表示，该国“过分依赖购买外国汽油”，而墨西哥第七个炼油厂将在那里建成。炼油厂六个阶段的招标过程将于6月底开始。
计划于本周访问华盛顿的AMLO表示，墨西哥希望继续与美国成为朋友，并重申墨西哥与其北方邻国的良好关系。不过，他也表示，墨西哥“不是任何外国的殖民地。”
AMLO重申，炼油厂将在三年内落成，并补充说它将由政府而非第三方建造。

AMLO reiterated that the refinery will be inaugurated in three years, adding that it will be built by the government rather than a third party.
