The leftist Mexican leader made his first foreign trip as president to the White House, where he and Trump accentuated the positive in their public remarks while largely glossing over their differences on business, illegal drugs and migration.
The White House said the Mexican delegation, including Lopez Obrador, were tested for the coronavirus before they met with Trump. Trump said the countries were committed to “a shared future of prosperity, security and harmony” and joked that he and leftist Lopez Obrador had forged “a great relationship ... maybe against all odds.”
“For a man who said he wasn’t going to the United States to wade into electoral waters, he did just that,” said former Mexican ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan. But Porfirio Munoz Ledo, a congressman from Lopez Obrador’s National Regeneration Movement who at times criticizes his own government, said the visit was a tribute to the Mexican leader’s diplomatic skills.
Trump described Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug runners during his 2015-16 presidential election campaign and vowed to make Mexico pay for his planned border wall.
What’s up with Justin’s teeth?
Help the Mexican people know Trump has been insulting them now... Trump haters... fake news hate speech
Seems like a victory for Trump to me. A winning strategy in handling relationship with Mexico...
I guess Mexican El Presidente has no self respect or respect for his country. What a loser.
Take care of TrumpVirus, brazil guy already got it.
Would you both leaders mind wearing face mask before praising each other, setting aside differences 'threatening tariffs and insulting Mexicans'. Mexico USA Trump Obrador coronavirus
Trumpf it's OK 👍👍👍👍
Bullshit.
Don’t worry. He’ll backstab you soon like he does everyone else once it suits him.
If it happens I meet trump I’ll say he’s the engel 😂😂😂 black people knows what I mean 😜
Insulting Mexicans? Mexicans have insulted Americans for years disrespecting our border laws bringing drugs and crime here and 1000 other disrespectful behaviors. Threatening tariffs is not an insult or disrespectful it's business. We aren't responsible for mexicos problems.
Amlo es un pendejo y Trump es una mierda
All show..
Canada's Prime Minister was smart enough not to go.
After the hundreds of Trump tweets insulting Mexicans...
Did Trump get a check from him to pay for his damn wall
Well praise is all Fat Orange Man cares about so it was a great night…for him. Hopefully Obrador enjoys his flight back to MEX on Delta in coach class!
Trump insults Mexicans? You meant to say Mexican criminals right? The media is actively stirring up racism trying to divide us they are the enemy of the people!!
Yeah, everyone has figured out that once you stroke Trump's ego he'll give you anything you want. Not news.
Guy just wanted to get out of there but noooo wave at the cameras 🤦♂️
I thought he was going to build walls lol what an idiot realDonaldTrump
Mexico got a great deal. I’m ok with that
Brave man to go to WH without a mask
AMLO is playing the game
Yeah, respect. Okay.
I don't know if Obrador is amazing at irony or he feels he has to say that. What a shame.
😂
Did he bring a check for the wall?
Now they don’t want us in their country!! And a trade deal that was little different than the one Obama had already negotiated. Nice job Donny!!
Coward trump. He was so nice talking about Mexicans in front of AMLO. But what about all those kids in jail? Did they talk about it? 😡
Um duh, here’s where the money is coming from to pay for the wall, you people know this but refuse to report it!
Yeah, but did he pay for the wall? Didn’t think so...
So did he write a check for the wall, or?
Others know it was just to reinforce the efforts of the CIA to assist with the movement of drugs. Nothing new here.
Venezuela paid for it through US theft
Steps to live better and bolder life If you feel like you’re ready to make some changes to live a bigger, bolder life..
I see two leaders meeting and not wearing a face mask. Kudos to the Prime Minister of Canada for not attending the event for the sake of health and safety. It's about NAFTA and I don't see any Canadian flags - how disrespectful. The event could have been held online. Budget!
Fools errand. Canada was wise to stay away. WorstPresidentEver WorstPresidentInHistory TraitorTrump TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpIsKillingUs
Another dummy not wearing a mask.
Guess who still is not paying for the wall? Mexico. It was just another campaign photo op for Trump. Trudeau was smart enough to not attend the political sideshow. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
I thought it was realDonaldTrump presenting lopezobrador_ with a bill for the wall.
wear masks
How much cash did realDonaldTrump hand the president of MÈxico for building the wall?
Trump is an embarrassment!
Where’s Canada! 🤣
Explain to us what it does for WorkingClassAmericans?
How long before he tests positive for COVID19, brave man going to the US at the moment huge risk.
Trudeau wins...
I wish most fancy success.
Is it me or this looks more like cartel meeting. TrumpCartel
And the cowardofthecottage was too scared to attend.
Andres don’t get near 🍊 he’s a Covid carrier! Get away! 🦠
Turns out Trump is a globalist.
And Reuters is green with envy
Donald Trump walked into a bar. Then he walked out very quickly when he remembered the girls there will be 21 or older
