Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador urged U.S. President Joe Biden to reduce North America’s imports and to loosen immigration restrictions in order to ease labor shortages.

The appeal from the Mexican president, known as AMLO, came during the first North American Leaders’ Summit since before the Donald Trump era, which was hosted by Biden at the White House on Thursday.
