Biden is heading south of the border
4 hours ago - Politics & Policy
Hans Nichols, author of Axios Sneak Peek
President Biden is planning to head to Mexico City next month for his first scheduled foreign trip of 2023, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: White House officials know they need a better political — and policy — response to stem the flow of illegal migration across America’s southern border, but there aren’t any easy solutions at hand.
- Convincing Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to increase security on his own southern border to interdict migrants from Central America is one potential solution.
- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also expected to attend this year's North American Leaders' Summit, sometimes known as the Three Amigos Summit.
- Republicans will continue to hammer Biden for the record high number of border apprehensions and call on him to make a trip to see the border for himself in person.
