"Biden and Mexican President Collaborate on Border Issues and Drug Trafficking"

President Biden and Mexican President López Obrador have pledged to work together on addressing migration and combating fentanyl trafficking, two key issues that have been targeted by 2024 Republican presidential candidates. The leaders, who have had disagreements in the past, expressed mutual admiration during their meeting in San Francisco. While no major new initiatives were announced, they emphasized their commitment to preventing drug trafficking and addressing the migratory phenomenon. Republicans have sought to tie Biden's policies to the surge in migrants and the influx of illicit drugs, making it an issue he is expected to confront in 2024. Former President Trump is planning to visit the U.S.-Mexico border to exploit Biden's weak numbers on immigration, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley, which is seen as an opportunity for Republicans to make strides with Latino voters.
