— President Biden, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are meeting for a series of talks on, trade and climate change on Tuesday as the three leaders try to mend tensions that have divided the continent.
The key takeaways from the summit revolve around better connections among the three nations and a shared goal of a stronger North America on energy and in particular, climate and a pledge to cut methane emissions, an agreement to manage large waves of migrants coming to the region and a more cohesive regional strategy on dealing with future pandemic-related health threats.
Mr. Biden responded by pointing to the billions of dollars that the United States spends in foreign aid around the world, saying that"unfortunately our responsibility just doesn't end in the Western Hemisphere." The airport, which is expected to cost $4.1 billion when finished, is more than an hour's drive north of the city center, has few flights and until recently lacked consistent drinking water. However, it's one of the keystone projects that López Obrador is racing to finish before his term ends next year.
