Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is seeking a concession from his counterpart Joe Biden on migration, at the same time as he sees an agreement being reached in an auto dispute with the U.S.
The president said Thursday he’ll press Biden in a letter to accept his migration proposal from earlier this year to give six-month U.S. work visas to Central Americans enrolled in a regional tree-planting program spearheaded by Mexico. AMLO, as the president is known, underscored the importance of regional collaboration.
