The three North American leaders met in Mexico City last week, pledging more cooperation on increased migration in the region, energy policies and trade disputes. It was a relief seeing the three leaders together at the North American Leaders’ Summit after nearly two years of politically fraught relations between President Biden and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. If anything, the summit may have convinced Mexico’s president that creating a “North American clean energy powerhouse” can be economically fruitful. During the pandemic, disruptions in the global supply chain of goods needed to manufacture products strained North American trade. But the North American partnership is too important and presents too many valuable opportunities to be sidelined by frosty relations.
