“WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden will meet virtually with Mexican counterpart Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Friday amid criticism of Washington’s plan to lift COVID-era immigration restrictions at the U.S. border and differences between the two countries over how to respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The meeting comes just a few days after a federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to halt its efforts to lift a public health order known as Title 42, a COVID-era policy that allows the expulsion of migrants to prevent the spread of the virus.

Mexican officials are concerned the repeal of the Trump-era measure to tighten the U.S. border will encourage a spike in migration and more profits for criminal gangs unless Washington does more to help mitigate the impact.”
