Mexico has dealt “spectacular blows” to three top criminal organizations ahead of a summit with President Biden, Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
After a short visit to El Paso, Biden arrived in Mexico City on Sunday, and he and López Obrador, also known as AMLO, held bilateral talks Monday. They retreated for dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who arrived in the afternoon. Along the 2,000-mile border, Mexican cities are usually dominated by organized crime, whose power reaches deep into the interior of Mexico.
President Joe Biden is greeted by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as he arrives at the National Palace in Mexico City, Mexico, Monday, Jan. 9, 2023. “It’s not a coincidence that Biden visits the border and then Mexico City, at a time when there is also more pressure on Mexico, Canada and the United States to move away from China by nearshoring,” or partnering with suppliers and manufacturers within a supply chain located in nearby countries, said Fontes, who is now president of Fontes International Consulting, which provides security advice to international companies.
Because of the vexing problem of migration, there is only so much the Biden administration can do to pressure Mexico, at least publicly, said Carlos Bravo Regidor, one of Mexico’s top political commentators. Mexico represents the last barrier between a record-high number of migrants desperately trying to reach the United States.
