The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and his American namesake, Joe Biden, had a call this Tuesday job in which they reaffirmed the promise to continue working together on issues such as migrationaccording to the Mexican president on Twitter.
We talked for about an hour with President Biden. We reaffirm our commitment to continue working together on issues such as the migration with a humanist dimension.
Lopez Obrador wrote.
He also explained that, on the call, they talked about drug and arms trafficking and, “above all”, in cooperation for the well-being of the poorest peoples of the continent.
“We are good neighbors and friends,” ends López Obrador’s tweet.
At the moment, no further details were given about the call, but the meeting took place just a few days after López Obrador received Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, White House adviser for National Security, at the National Palace.
It is also carried out on the eve of the end of Title 42, a measure adopted by Donald Trump (2017-2021) and later continued by President Biden to expel migrants on the grounds of the covid-19 pandemic, an emergency declaration that is to end up in the United States.
The meeting is also part of the controversy over fentanyl trafficking, which has led the United States Republican Party to propose declaring war on the Mexican cartels and designating them as “terrorist organizations.”
The Mexican president has called those who propose the use of the United States Army inside Mexico “wimps and interventionists” and has come to consider that American families are responsible for fentanyl overdoses for not hugging their children enough.
