Mexican president calls for dialogue with US on migration
MEXICO CITY, May 31, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Mexican President Andres Lopez
Obrador sent a letter Thursday to his American counterpart Donald Trump
saying he does not want “confrontation” and calling for dialogue with the US
on migration.
The letter came after Trump announced tariffs on goods coming from Mexico
that he said would remain in place until the flow of “illegal migrants”
coming to the US is “remedied.”
“I express to you that I don’t want confrontation… I propose deepening
our dialogue, to look for other alternatives to the migration problem,” Lopez
Obrador wrote in the letter.
