Lopez Obrador, in a statement on X (formerly Twitter), emphasized the significance of these agreements for both nations, highlighting the necessity of a policy of good neighborliness. The post-Christmas visit by Blinken and Mayorkas underscores President Biden’s commitment to addressing the escalating migration issue, a key concern for Republican lawmakers linking it to their support for Ukraine.
