"Biden and Mexico's President Unite Against Border Issues and Drug Trafficking"

Mexico's President López Obrador praised President Biden for not building border walls during their meeting in San Francisco, emphasizing the importance of assisting people in their countries of origin to prevent forced migration. López Obrador also highlighted the significant number of Mexican migrants living and working in the United States, as well as the growing number of American citizens moving to Mexico. Biden acknowledged the collaboration between the two countries in combating arms trafficking, organized crime, and the opioid epidemic. The meeting took place two weeks after the Biden administration approved $950 million in contracts to repair and upgrade existing border wall construction, using funds from previous appropriations.
