On a visit to Mexico City on Monday, President Joe Biden met with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and discussed drug and migration issues between the two countries. Left-leaning articles highlight INSERT, while right-leaning articles highlight that the leaders of the U.S. and Canada are in Mexico to attend the North American Leaders’ Summit during which they brought concerns about trade and energy policy to López Obrador.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting that on an official trip to Mexico, Biden implored the Mexican president to work to curtail the smuggling of fentanyl, the leading cause of death for Americans under 45, into the United States. The article highlighted that this feat, if successful, would be an accomplishment his predecessors could not achieve as well as the fact that every U.S. president since Ronald Reagen has asked the Mexican president for help in the war on drugs.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that the two presidents projected an image of camaraderie despite their fundamental differences as leaders of their respective nations. It highlighted that Biden’s priority is halting the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., a market predominantly supplied by Mexican drug cartels. López Obrador’s emphasis on clean energy over fossil fuels is also a source of tension, but on the topic of migration, the two presidents seem to be in harmony.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that Biden, along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, were in Mexico to attend the North American Leaders’ Summit and that the American and Canadian leaders both brought concerns about trade and energy to the Mexican president. The article also noted that observers say it was not a coincidence that just prior to the summit, the son of notorious drug lord “El Chapo,” Ovidio Guzmán López, was captured and detained.
