President Joe Biden is meeting with his North American counterparts for the second time of his administration, this time for two days in Mexico City.
The so-called"three amigos" summit will be overshadowed by Biden's first trip to the border as commander in chief amid a surge in illegal migrant crossings and after last week's new immigration policy announcement. But he, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are poised to discuss an array of difficult issues, even if they publicly present a united front.
Jason Marczak, senior director of the Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, praised Biden's trip to El Paso, Texas, Sunday as"an incredibly sound decision" after Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized for traveling to Central America in 2021 without visiting the border. Center for Strategic and International Studies Americas Program director Ryan Berg agreed the Mexican Army's capture of Ovidio Guzman, one of El Chapo’s sons and a Sinaloa Cartel leader, is"significant" after they were forced to release him in 2019 following being"outgunned" by the international organized crime syndicate.
The White House has downplayed any connection between Guzman's arrest and the summit, but Kirby cited an increase in information-sharing between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico with respect to precursor chemicals, complimented by public health services, during Friday's briefing.The U.S. traded more than a combined $3 million worth of goods with Canada and Mexico every minute during the first three financial quarters of 2022.
But Berg pointed to trade opportunities for the neighbors as well as the U.S. looks to decouple its economy from China's by"nearshoring" or"friendshoring" supply chains through the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS and Science Act.
