AMLO vs el Monstruo del Norte
AMLO doesn't talk much about the monster to the north.
Today he mentioned a meeting between Jared Kushner and Mexico's FM Marcelo Ebrard to discuss migration.
Goal: Migration should be optional, not forced. AMLO is improving Mexico's wages to lower the gradient between the two sides of the border.
A nice little gotcha:
Indicó que su gobierno no hará “turismo político”, por lo que sólo saldrá del país si se trata de firmar convenios de inversiones para México y Centroamérica. “Nosotros no haremos turismo político porque tenemos muchos asuntos por solucionar en el país. La mejor política exterior, es la política interior”, remarcó.Pointedly unlike other Latin American leaders, AMLO won't engage in political tourism. Instead, he will solve Mexico's own problems, MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS. The best foreign policy is a good internal policy. Populism in one sentence.
