Biden to meet with Mexican, Canadian leaders next month

President Biden will attend the North American Leaders’ Summit in Mexico next month and meet with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the White House announced Tuesday.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters the leaders will discuss economic stability, security and immigration during the Jan. 9-10 confab in Mexico City.

“We intend to build on the progress from the last [summit], with concrete initiatives that will address climate and environmental challenges, help increase North America’s competitiveness, protect the health and safety of our citizens, jointly respond, of course, to irregular migration in the region and advance diversity, equity and inclusion,” he said.
