The White House has announced new agreements between the U.S., Mexico and Canada, just hours before the countries' leaders — the so-called 'Three Amigos' — meet for trilateral talks in Mexico City.
Instead, the White House said the three countries have committed to "increased information sharing on chemicals used in the illicit manufacture of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs" -- a far cry from any new law enforcement operations, sanctions or other activity to disrupt fentanyl production and trafficking by drug cartels.
More notable were the fresh commitments to increase economic cooperation -- working together on key sectors, such as semiconductors and critical minerals, as well as on supply chains and advanced workforce training. While no financial commitments have been announced yet, those agreements include a cabinet-level summit on semiconductors, mapping mineral resources across the North American continent and promoting educational investment.
Both Biden and Lopez Obrador boasted that kind of cooperation during a one-on-one meeting on Monday, with the Mexican president describing his American counterpart as a "humanistic" and "visionary" leader and calling for new U.S. investment in the region.
