Mexico City.- The Mexican president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorstated this Friday that he was “satisfied” with the letter he received from his US counterpart, Joe Biden, on the energy consultations that Washington opened within the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC).
“With very good relations, in a very good plan, very well. Yes, I am satisfied,” said AMLO during La Mañanera.
Andrés Manuel revealed that “about three or four days ago” he received a letter from Biden in response to the letter he sent a month ago to complain about the consultation that the United States began on Mexican energy policy, accused of favoring public companies Mexicans to the detriment of Americans.
The consultation, to which Canada joined, has raised concern in Mexico because it could become a dispute panel within the trade agreement, in force since 2020, but López Obrador asserted that in Biden’s letter the problems were solved, although it did not reveal its content.
“The basics were resolved, and I believe that what I am showing you is more than enough, there is trust, I consider him not only my friend, but a friend of Mexico, which is the most important thing, respectful, what it says about our sovereignty” , he asserted.
The Mexican leader added that “it is very important” what Biden says in the letter, “and this is good for the people to know, all the people, that the relationship is very good and, above all, Mexico has a strategic place in the world”.
At one point, the president displayed a handwritten postscript from the US president.
“I reiterate my deepest respect for you and for the independence and sovereignty of Mexico, I hope we continue in contact. PS. I look forward to seeing you again,” López Obrador read based on a translation of the Government of Mexico.
The Mexican president explained that this message motivated him to call Biden “friend” during his fourth government report, which he delivered this Thursday at the National Palace.
He recalled that he can only share Biden’s phrase that he already cited in the report because they made “a very respectful agreement.”

“According to the information that my friend, President Joe Biden, has just transmitted to me in a letter, I quote him verbatim, he tells me: bilateral trade in goods between the United States and Mexico has reached 384,000 million dollars, surpassing pre-pandemic levels to reach a historic record,” he repeated.
