Obama and Problems in Mexico and Canada
US President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper are in Mexico for a summit:
Obama Arrives in Mexico for Start of Summit
By GINGER THOMPSON and MARC LACEYPublished: August 9, 2009GUADALAJARA, Mexico — President Barack Obama began a summit meeting here Sunday night with his Mexican and Canadian counterparts that touched on a broad range of issues including climate change, the economic crisis, the swine flu pandemic and the battle against illegal drugs…“I think the summit is going to be a step in the continuing dialogue from which agreements will undoubtedly come,” Gen. James L. Jones, Mr. Obama’s national security adviser, said before the meetings began. “I think we’ll see more of these dialogues. And as I said, from that, I think good things will come.”
Immigration was raised again, but this time tensions were expected to be focused on Mexicans entering Canada, not the United States.
Too many Mexicans, the Canadian government complained, are fraudulently claiming political asylum in Canada, overwhelming the system. So Canada announced last month that it would begin requiring Mexican citizens to secure visas before entering the country, a decision that elicited outrage in Mexico.
The Mexicans struck back with an announcement that Canadian diplomats and government officials would now require visas to enter Mexico.
Although some angry Mexican lawmakers urged President Felipe Calderón to go further and require visas for all Canadian visitors, Mr. Calderón held off, not wanting to damage Mexico’s tourism industry, which relies heavily on North American visitors.
Mexico also raised a trade dispute that began when the United States Congress canceled a program, in violation of Nafta, that allowed Mexican trucks to operate in the United States.
Mexico responded by imposing billions of dollars in tariffs on American products. The Obama administration said it was seeking to resolve the dispute, but did not have a deal ready in time for the meeting.
Another irritant is the “Buy American” clause in the Obama administration’s economic stimulus plan, which both Canada and Mexico oppose. An aide to Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada told reporters last week that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the Canadian leader raised the issue of protectionism with Mr. Obama. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/10/world/americas/10prexy.html?em
As I have long written at this website, ultimately the USA and Canada will find that Mexico will align itself with the Europeans and Latin Americans instead of those that are to the north of its land.
This is basically because of religion and Bible prophecy.
