Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to host Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for talks in Mexico City

North American leaders aim to give new impetus to strengthening economic ties at a meeting this week, even as a major dispute grinds on over Mexico’s energy policies which has distracted from cooperation on other issues like immigration.

Still, Mexico remains mired in an energy dispute with the United States and Canada, who argue their firms have been disadvantaged by Lopez Obrador’s campaign to give control of the market to his cash-strapped state energy companies. Trudeau told Reuters on Friday he would make the case that resolving the energy dispute would help bring more foreign investment to Mexico, and was confident of making progress.Aindriu Colgan, director of tax and trade policy at the American Petroleum Institute - whose members include ExxonMobil and Chevron - said it was time to call a dispute panel because “Mexico is blatantly violating the USMCA.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic scrambled supply chains, policymakers have stepped up calls for firms to relocate business from Asia to make the region’s economy more resilient. Ovidio Guzman, son of jailed kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, is a leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a gang blamed for helping to fuel a surge in fatal overdoses of synthetic opioid fentanyl in the United States.

Treaudeu and Biden should kick mexico out of the free trade, lopez obrador is a narcocomunist and our countries shouldn't deal with this criminal president

So Trudeau is now going to try and convince Americans that Naziism is right now?

I wonder what Biden is thinking...LOL.

All I see are two clowns

We need to have training qualifications for these major positions to make decisions that affect all of our lives! Eliminate parties and let’s start to promote qualified persons only ! They can still promote themselves but it will be based on real knowledge and important events

None of which these two clowns have a clue about. God help us.
