AMLO disdains international summit where he was supposed to meet with US President Joe Biden

Although he had first confirmed his participation, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said always no to his US counterpart, Joe Biden, who invited him to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC), to be held in San Francisco, because Peru and President Dina Boluarte will also attend.

“I am not going to attend the San Francisco (summit), because we do not have relations with Peru, and it is to see the Asia-Pacific, and we do not want to participate in that, with all due respect”, he said.

In August, he had informed that he would attend the conclave to be held from November 15 to 17, and that he had already confirmed it to the U.S. president.

He commented that he proposed to Biden a visit to Mexico to see the construction of a liquefaction plant that is being carried out jointly with the US company Fortress.
