Biden's Meeting with Mexico's President in San Francisco: Key Concerns and Border Focus

President Biden and Mexican President López Obrador are set to meet in San Francisco during the APEC summit, as both countries navigate their upcoming presidential elections in 2024. The leaders will discuss touchy issues such as migration and the fentanyl trade, which could impact elections on both sides of the border. López Obrador's diplomatic rounds aim to strengthen his negotiating position with Biden, while Biden faces political pressure regarding border security and migration. The illicit trade in drugs, particularly fentanyl, is an area where both countries theoretically align, and they plan to address the issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
