Joe Biden US-Mexico border visit: US President Joe Biden visited the US-Mexico border for the first time as President. He visited El Paso, the Texas entry point at the center of the debate on illegal immigration and trafficking. He also met with customs and immigration officials at the Bridge of the Americas crossing before heading to Mexico City for a regional summit with the leaders of Mexico and Canada.
President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he would visit El Paso, Texas, the southern border of Mexico on Sunday. During this, apart from local officials, he will also meet community leaders, people present on the border to assess the border enforcement works and try to know the problem from them.
Mexico had taken big action before this tour
At the same time, Mexico has also taken this tour of Biden very seriously. The Mexican government on Saturday arrested Ovidio Guzman, the most wanted son of the world’s biggest drug trafficker El Chapo, to please the US President. Sitting in Mexico, Guzman used to smuggle drugs to many other countries including America. During this tour, there will also be a bilateral meeting between the Presidents of America and Mexico.
Immediately after Biden’s visit, there will also be a North American Leader Summit in Mexico, in which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will also visit Mexico. It is believed that during this time the heads of state of Canada and America will talk about drug trafficking from Mexico. In such a situation, by arresting Ovidio Guzman, the Mexican government can show that it is serious about drug trafficking.
This visit of the US President is very important
This visit of Joe Biden is considered very important regarding the relations between America and Mexico. In fact, there has been a long-standing dispute between the two countries regarding the border, illegal entry of people from Mexico to America and drug smuggling. On these issues, a situation of tension has also arisen between the two countries many times.
