According to this article on Politico, by DOUG PALMER
“President Joe Biden will host Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador at the White House on Thursday, Nov. 18, for the first North American Leaders’ Summit since 2016, the White House said on Wednesday.
What’s on the agenda: “During the Summit, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will reaffirm their strong ties and integration while also charting a new path for collaboration on ending the Covid-19 pandemic and advancing health security; competitiveness and equitable growth, to include climate change; and a regional vision for migration,” the White House said in a statement.
What’s in the background: The meeting comes as Biden is being pressured by Republicans to take more aggressive action to deal with the flood of immigrants trying to cross the U.S. southern border. Business groups and lawmakers have also raised concerns about actions taken by López Obrador’s administration that they say threaten U.S. agricultural exports and energy investments in Mexico.”
