Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will ask U.S. counterpart Joe Biden for help getting vaccines against Covid-19, as one of the nations hardest hit by the pandemic struggles to inoculate its population.
“We want a response to a petition we have already made, and if President Biden considers it he can give us a response on vaccines during the conversation,” Lopez Obrador said at his daily press conference, ahead of a call between the two leaders set for Monday afternoon.
