After Trudeau snub, what Trump really wants from López Obrador summit (opinion)

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Samantha Vinograd is a CNN national security analyst. His Wednesday summit with Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been touted as a celebration of the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement, which a White House statement describes as “the largest, fairest, and most balanced trade agreement ever negotiated.” Canada’s Justin Trudeau, the third party in the trilateral agreement, won’t be there. It’s exactly because of Trump’s inaccurate, insulting, and frankly abhorrent comments about Mexicans – not to mention his actions toward Mexico and immigrants and asylum seekers there – that AMLO has been under pressure from his critics to cancel his Washington visit, his first foreign trip since he took office in 2018. Meanwhile, AMLO’s presence in DC will undoubtedly be seen by many – both in Mexico and in the US – as open support for Trump’s reelection bid. AMLO will look on board with these measures – not to mention with Trump’s overall assault on human rights and immigration – if he stands silent next to Trump amid these developments.
