In November 2016 the Presidents of the North Triangle: El Salvador, Salvador Sanchez Ceren; Guatemala, Jimmy Morales; and Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández; met with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC to discuss the Partnership for Prosperity Plan and the U.S. Strategy for Engagement in Central America. Well Joe how did we do? Did you meet and discuss the Plan with President Obama?

Joe Biden is no longer in office and has no U.S. government authority to make deals. Where’s the Logan Act when you need it?
He met with them in 2016.
Biden is a pervert.
“And then, right before the 2018 election, you send all your problems through Mexico to the US.”
First Kerry, then Biden..
This undercutting of the US foreign policy won’t stop until one of them is arrested.

U.S.-Mexico Partnership for Prosperity
President George W. Bush and President Vicente Fox today welcomed a concrete action plan to promote economic development in the parts of Mexico where growth has lagged and fueled migration.
Origins of the U.S.-Mexico Partnership for Prosperity
When they first met as Presidents, in February 2001, President Bush and President Fox explained that, ‘Among our highest priorities is unfettering the economic potential of every citizen, so each may contribute fully to narrowing the economic gaps between and within our societies.’
In September of 2001, during President Bush’s first state visit, President Bush and President Fox took an important step toward realizing that vision. They launched the Partnership for Prosperity, a private-public alliance to harness the power of the private sector to foster an environment in which no Mexican feels compelled to leave his home for lack of jobs or opportunity.
After six months of work, the Partnership has produced a concrete action plan. The plan draws upon the best ideas emerging from two conferences (one in Merida, Mexico and one in Washington, D.C.) attended by over one hundred experts from the private and public sectors. The Partnership has been led in the United States by Deputy Treasury Secretary Kenneth Dam and Under Secretary of State Alan Larson.
Leveraging the Resources and Expertise of the Private Sector
The action plan builds on the President’s New Compact for Development. As President Bush said last week before the Inter-American Development Bank, “Most of the money for development does not come from aid. It comes from domestic investment, foreign direct investment, and, especially, from trade.” The action plan, therefore, seeks to leverage private sector resources and expertise.
Action Plan
The action plan includes projects to facilitate investment in small business, housing, agriculture, roads, ports, airports, and information technology. Specific examples include:
Increasing investment in housing. The U.S. Treasury Department will coordinate the provision of technical assistance to Mexico’s Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal (SHF) to encourage securitization of mortgages and the creation of a secondary mortgage market in Mexico. In these efforts, Treasury will draw upon experts with experience in housing finance from private financial institutions, government-sponsored agencies (like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae), and the U.S. Office of Federal Housing Enterprise and Oversight (OFHEO).
Investing in infrastructure for commerce. The Partnership will lead an effort to spur the participation of U.S. companies in the development of Mexican infrastructure projects including: ports, an air cargo facility, and an expansion of Mexico’s internet connectivity.
Financing U.S. franchise opportunities for Mexican entrepreneurs. A U.S. franchise can be more than a brand-name, it can also be a set of best practices. As U.S. businesses share more of their business practices, technology, and distribution systems with Mexican entrepreneurs, productivity in the Mexican economy will rise.
Supporting small businesses in Mexico. The Partnership, through the Small Business Administration and other US agencies, will provide assistance in establishing small business development centers in Mexico to promote entrepreneurial competitiveness.
Lowering the cost of sending money home. Last year, Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the U.S. sent $9.3 billion home to family and friends in Mexico. But they paid high fees to do so. More competition in financial services will lower the fees and help make sure that more money gets to the people who need it most and helps strengthen regional economies. Also, U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin will work to highlight awareness of competitive products by promoting financial literacy and expanded use of the banking system by American Hispanics.
Next Steps
Just as President Bush called for more accountability in development, the action plan calls on the Partnership for Prosperity to hold itself accountable for producing results.
Accordingly, the Partnership will continue and oversee the implementation of the action plan. In six months, the Partnership will report its progress. Drawing on President Bush’s Management Reform Agenda, the Partnership will rate itself using a traffic light system of red, yellow, and green lights:
The principal measure of the Partnership’s success will be productivity - whether the Partnership succeeds in unfettering the economic potential of people in the parts of Mexico where growth has lagged and fueled migration.
The Partnership will also rate itself on the degree to which it is led by private sector participants, ideas, and projects.
Finally, the Partnership will rate itself on the speed of the implementation.
He’s a RAT, laws don’t apply. :)
Yep! Whatever he had planed was history when they lost....
My first thought was Logan Act.
November 2016. He was still a representative of our government.
Sorry. He has the “D” protector get out of trouble free master card.
“a private-public alliance to harness ...” more graft.
Terrible, but most ‘foreign aid’ is graft anyway.
Since it was Biden there, the discussion was probably about getting him some of those little boys and girls that always go missing during long treks through Mexico...
No question.

Speaking of “concrete partnerships”:
Who is the ex el presidente (or ex mex pol) that owns a huge mexican concrete binez??
Iirc, he offered to sell the US concrete to help trump build the wall??
Just going by memory on this???
And that is when he had pamphlets distributed telling all those people that they could be refugees and get Foodstamps, Free healthcare, and citizenship simply by illegally crossing the border.
Who is he?
He doesn’t hold any political office that he can go about making deals.
Trump should clamp down on this hard and fast.
Did he grope anyone?
