President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed that he will attend the Summit of the Americas in June in Los Angeles to respond to the invitation of his counterpart Joe Biden.
“I don't have the exact date yet. I know it's going to be held in Los Angeles, California, in June and I'm going to attend,” said the Mexican executive when questioned whether he would have a personal meeting with the US president.
This would be the second face-to-face meeting between Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Joe Biden, after just in November 2021 they met in Washington with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.
Since Biden assumed the presidency of the United States in January 2020, they have not had an exclusive bilateral meeting and if they were in Los Angeles it will be again within the framework of a regional summit.
To date, communication between them has occurred mainly by telephone calls or videoconferences despite the mutual invitations that have been launched by both leaders.
In July 2020, López Obrador traveled to the capital of the United States to meet at the White House with then-president Donald Trump, who highlighted his friendship with the Tabasqueño.
On Thursday Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Foreign Affairs (SRE) announced the possible participation of the Mexican president in the Summit of the Americas, to which the United States government has called the leaders of the continent who have been “democratically elected”.
But before the meeting of leaders in the state of California, the Tabasqueño highlighted that he will tour Central America and the Caribbean, and from May 5, 2022, in which he will visit Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize and Cuba.
This Friday, the Mexican Executive will meet again with the United States Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, after the latter has been a regular visitor to the National Palace to discuss the impacts that the energy policy currently being promoted by the administration of the Fourth Transformation.
Since last November's White House meeting, senior officials from Joe Biden's cabinet have traveled to Mexico to hold high-level meetings on migration, security and investment, a situation in which some disagreements have arisen, such as when the Tabasqueño denied John Kerry's version of a commission to accompany the energy reform that was finally stalled in the Chamber of Deputies of our country.
Despite the differences expressed publicly in recent weeks, the head of the Mexican executive has assured that the relationship with the United States is on very good terms.
The Summit of the Americas brings together the Heads of Government of the Member States of the Hemisphere to discuss shared political issues, affirm common values such as freedom of expression and democracy, and commit to national and regional actions to address present and future challenges faced by the countries of the Americas.
The main concern at this summit is the presence of authoritarian governments in the region, which have violated democratic values such as the case of Venezuela and Nicaragua, where opposition leaders have suffered political and judicial persecution at the hands of the State.
