Biden to discuss immigration, trade with Mexico’s president

WASHINGTON, 13 July 2022, (TON): President Joe Biden plans to meet with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for discussions the White House says will showcase the underlying strength of a relationship that of late has been more notable for the leaders’ disagreements on issues including energy and Ukraine policy.

López Obrador declined Biden’s invitation to the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles last month after unsuccessfully urging the U.S. to include the leaders of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela all countries with anti-democratic regimes.

The Mexican leader also has called U.S. support for Ukraine in its war with Russia a crass error and criticized the U.S. for moving more swiftly to provide military funding to Ukraine than financial aid to Central America.
