Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will ask US counterpart Joe Biden for support in financing clean energy projects and attracting semiconductor investment when the two men meet in Mexico City next week, a senior Mexican Foreign Ministry official said Thursday.
Mexico wants US help to secure funding from development banks for an ambitious plan to build several state-owned solar parks in border state Sonora, said the official, who asked not to be identified while discussing plans that aren’t public. Lopez Obrador, known as AMLO, will also look to discuss selling Mexican clean energy north of the border, especially in California, the person said.
