Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday called for greater integration with Canada and the United States in the wake of Britain's vote to split with the European Union.
Nieto, who spoke during a stopover in Quebec City, is scheduled to attend a North American leaders summit in Ottawa on Wednesday with his US and Canadian counterparts.
The three countries are economic partners in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and work closely on security matters.
At Wednesday's summit, the leaders are expected to announce joint energy and environmental strategies, including matching renewable energy targets.
"The purpose of this visit is to renew our bilateral relationship, to give it new life, to find ways to advance the prosperity and competitiveness of North America," Pena Nieto said.
"I think what is happening elsewhere in the world invites us to strengthen our strategic alliance and especially to be much more inclusive," he said in response to questions about the so-called Brexit decision.
Britain's shocking vote to quit the European Union has abruptly shoved itself onto the summit agenda.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Barack Obama had both called on Britain to stay in the EU.
The Brexit decision has roiled financial markets and triggered deep uncertainty over how the divorce will play out, in Europe and elsewhere.
Pena Nieto is scheduled to dine with Trudeau in Toronto in the evening before the pair head to Ottawa to meet with Obama on Wednesday.
On the first day of his state visit, Pena Nieto also signaled Mexico's intention to join a fledgling continental carbon market with Quebec, Ontario and the US state of California.
He is also expected to announce matching cuts to US methane emissions, which Canada agreed to in March.
The Trump disrupters are violent attackers.....Mexican thugs sent by Mexico. La Raza is stirring the pot....plotting to overthrow the US govt and 'make America Mexico again.'
LISTEN UP AMERICA--- A provision in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) is intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government's foreign policy.
CASE IN POINT The Hispanic Bar Association is advocating an economic boycott of Trump companies...in order to stop Trump
Of course, being Hispanic, these people have no knowledge of US law. But this action places the latino lawyers and their organization in serious legal jeopardy.
NOTE WELL The Hispanic lawyers' boycott is clearly intended as an expression of protest for purely political reasons.......involving the interests of the foreign country of Mexico to which they swear allegiance .
In the United States, the anti-boycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply to all "U.S. persons" (defined to include individuals and companies located in the United States and their foreign affiliates).
The provisions are intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government's foreign policy.
These persons are subject to the law when their activities relate to the sale, purchase, or transfer of goods or services (including the sale of information) within the United States or between the United States and a foreign country.
This covers exports and imports, financing, forwarding and shipping, and certain other transactions that may take place wholly offshore.....AND/OR ACROSS THE BORDER.
Mexico has 122 million people. They need to live on their side of the border, not ours.
Makes me sick they encourage their citizens to get on our welfare programs.
The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples. They have declared their independence from the European Union and have voted to reassert control over their own politics, borders and economy.
A Trump Administration pledges to strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain, deepening our bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defense. The whole world is more peaceful and stable when our two countries – and our two peoples – are united together, as they will be under a Trump Administration.
Come November, the American people will have the chance to re-declare their independence. Americans will have a chance to vote for trade, immigration and foreign policies that put our citizens first. They will have the chance to reject today’s rule by the global elite, and to embrace real change that delivers a government of, by and for the people.
I hope America is watching, it will soon be time to believe in America again.
Integration with a failed narco state? Yeh that’s in our best interest.
Yeah.....rght.
Anythng out of the mouths of Mexicans translates into “Gimmee the money.”
Not only no, but hell no. The Second Amendment would be the first casualty in such an arrangement.
Just say nyet to nieto.
And tell him he’s gonna pay for The Wall.
This is “end-times” stuff. Think about it.
El Presidente figures he can dip even more into the pockets of the peons both Sur y Norte
No. Not just “no” but “Oh, Hell no!!!”
And if he, the Mexican President, was thinking rationally he’d say the same.
What is killing nations like Greece or Spain in the EU is precisely the Euro. When they accepted it and gave up their own currencies they lost the monetary tools they’d previously had to manage their own money supply. Instead they found themselves with a currency that was relatively expensive to them, as the ONLY way they could get it is to tax it from their people, borrow it at interest from the banks, or beg gifts from others.
No more printing it.
They thought that they’d latched onto a vast source of stable money to spend but what they really did was fall victim to a scheme that effectively, at least for the weaker economies in the EU, back ended the worst feature of a specie backed currency into a fiat currency ... it became expensive to acquire.
But not noticing THAT they continued to run their affairs as if they still had those selfsame monetary powers that they now lack.
So they taxed their citizens and businesses, the borrowed and they’ve begged and look where they are now!
Does the Mexican President think that’s something any rational person actually wants?
It is folly for Americans to assume that the Petrodollar will long continue, and when it does fail, and the Federal Reserve finally collapse taking us all down with it, does the Mexican President want his wagon hitched to that train with us?!?
Dammit man, you’ll be wanting to build your own northern wall by then!!!
This is a double jeopardy that even Greece doesn’t presently face (the Euro is one of the prospective rivals to the Petrodollar, it becoming a cash form used to buy oil, just as with using the Yuan for same, only means that the Petrodollar collapses as the Petrodollar ... the subsequent collapse of the Dollar because of Washington’s lawlessness and spendthrift ways will HURT Europe ... but not necessarily kill it).
So when I say “Oh, Hell no!!!” because I don’t want a North American Union just on principal if the President of Mexico understood what was at stake he’d be dead set against it too just because it’s in his best interest to do so.
After all, the only real way to benefit from these super national arrangements is to not really need them, otherwise if you think you’ve got a lot to gain start rechecking your theory and also start counting your arms and legs while you’re at it....
WE need these Mexicans like we need a hole in the head. I am so sick of all countries south of the border.
No...wait. that is exactly what should happen! Invade Mexico. Take over! We have their people. Take the real estate. Mexico ceases to exist. occupy it, clean it out, tax it and own it. They even already have a wall on their southern border! One North America...OURS!
I think Mexico should integrate with all the countries south of it’s border first....prove that it works, then we’ll think about it.
Coke made with real sugar?
We need to get this proposed referendum on the ballot. America will remain and Hillary will lose.
Makes me sick that OUR government accommodates them!
Free Staters should take over Mexico one of Mexico’s States at a time.
Mexico should make English the only legal language....
Mexico should just try to ally with its southern neighbors, yaknow, the ones it refuse let immigrate into Mexico.
