Biden To Host Canada's Trudeau, Mexico's AMLO Nov 18

The White House has released a statement confirming a North American leader's summit to take place 18 November at the White House (link here). Statement says that the summit, "will reaffirm their strong ties and integration while also charting a new path for collaboration on ending the COVID-19 pandemic and advancing health security; competitiveness and equitable growth, to include climate change; and a regional vision for migration."

• The visit will be one of the very few that Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has taken outside his home country since he took over the presidency in 2018.
• Migration remains a major political hot-button issue in the US. VP Kamala Harris has been tasked with seeking a solution to the major flows of migrants from central America through Mexico to the US' southern border. However, these efforts have proved fruitless and have contributed to her plummeting approval ratings.
