JANUARY 10, 2023, UPDATE:
MEXICO CITY (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have pledged their resolve to promote prosperity for people through the hemisphere as they opened wide-ranging talks in Mexico City. They were discussing the fragile security situation in Haiti, North American trade, political unrest in Brazil and more on the sidelines of the North American Leaders Summit. Biden and Trudeau met one-on-one before a three-way meeting later Tuesday with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The U.S. and Canadian leaders had a warm exchange during a brief appearance before reporters, which stood in stark contrast to a more brusque exchange between Biden and López Obrador on Monday (Jan. 9, 2023).
JANUARY 10, 2023:
MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Joe Biden, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are set to meet for a series of talks on migration, trade and climate change. The three leaders are trying to mend tensions that have divided the continent. Tuesday’s (Jan. 10, 2023) gathering of North American countries is held most years, and it’s often called the “three amigos summit.” However, there have been strains in the relationship, and those were on display when Biden and López Obrador met Monday. During their conversation, López Obrador challenged the U.S. to end its “abandonment” and “disdain” for Latin America, and Biden defended his country’s foreign aid programs.
