US President Joe Biden listens during a virtual bilateral meeting with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Mexico has vaccinated roughly 2.5 million doses so far, enough for about 1% of the population, according to data compiled by Reuters here. Officials have been frustrated by bottlenecks in supply and raised concerns that wealthy countries are hoarding vaccines. Loprez Obrador said at a news conference before the meeting that he would ask Biden to share the vaccines it has. In a joint statement released after the meeting, the two countries said they would deepen their cooperation on COVID-19 response.
