The u. S. President has hailed what he described as a tremendous relationship between his country and mexico the trump has been holding trade talks with the specs and counterparts and the rest find a way Lopez Obrador at the white house the leftist leader had been criticized for traveling to washington to meet trump who was largely elected on the promise of building a border wall between the 2 nations some democrats say that trump is using the occasion to drum up support among hispanic voters when mike hanna joins us live now from washington d. C. So what do we know about their meeting mike well it was very very amicable indeed the 2 leaders signed the u. S. And the a trade agreement which replaces nafta it came into effect on the 1st of this month however now it has been formally signed by the 2 leaders and this was the main reason for this meeting that would have to actually get this deal formally signed but certainly the differences that have been there in the pos between mexico and the u. S. Work for the moment at least forgotten and it was a tone of respect and a tone of genuine liking for each other it would appear and this is what each of the leaders at to say the relationship between the United States and mexico has never been closer than it is right now and as the president said a little while ago people were betting against that they were actually betting against it. But its never been stronger never been closer to doing tremendous job together were cherished friends partners and neighbors are cooperation is founded on mutual trust and Mutual Respect between the 2 of us and between our 2 countries. Yes but. I decided to come because it was very important for us to launch this new agreement but i also wanted to thank the people of the u. S. Government and you know president trolley for being increasingly respectful of our fellow mexicans and for your personal support in acquiring medical equipment to treat coronavirus patients. Thats why im here to express to the American People that their president has treated us with kindness and respect long live the friendship of our 2 nations. And my considering all the criticism that the president the president topis facing due to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the us does he need this for his election not just a pragmatic side but also just some kind of coup when it comes to International Relations and his standing with other foreign leaders. Well certainly theres an element of that president trying to make much of his Previous International visit theres only been 2 since the advent of the pandemic and this is part of that clearly showing that he can still do diplomacy in the midst of the ongoing pandemic one which he continues to attempt to play down this is part of their process but also there is a real element to it as i said as well the trade deal between u. S. And mexico absolutely critical for mexico in particular and the threats that President Trump made in terms of suspending that deal just a year ago one of the reasons why the president was over the door came to the United States on his 1st International Trip trade for mexico with the United States is absolutely essential but on that note i must point out that the trade agreement itself or the level of trade between the 2 countries has dropped significantly over the last year measured made to may trade between the u. S. And mexico is down by some 54 percent theres been a 92 percent drop in terms of mexican Vehicle Parts exported to the United States so certainly despite the fanfare around this trade deal the meeting that took place and will continue into the evening with a state dinner the trade situation is of great concern to both countries at this particular point in time i can now with the latest from washington d.
