Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed Monday that he won't attend the Summit of the Americas hosted by President Biden in Los Angeles this week because not all countries in the Americas are invited. López Obrador had previously threatened to skip the summit if the Biden administration didn't invite countries like Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. Those countries did not receive invitations over human rights concerns and their "lack of democratic space," a senior U.S. official said Monday. The official said the U.S., as the host of this year's summit, has "wide discretion on invitations, but deeply values and respects...

In March of this year, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto compared Donald Trump to Hitler and Mussolini. At the time, Peña Nieto said that Trump’s rhetoric was “the way that Mussolini arrived and the way Hitler arrived.” At a press conference today with President Obama and Canadian President Trudeau, Peña Nieto was asked if he stood by those remarks.

That is what Hitler and Mussolini did, said Peña Nieto. In concluding, Peña Nieto said “that was...

When you invite your next-door neighbor over for a friendly visit and barbecue, it is expected that the visiting neighbor is respectful of your house and your property.

Eying the results so far in the U.S. presidential primary race, Mexican President Felipe Calderon said he is hopeful that the next administration in Washington will usher in reforms that would legalize the status of Mexican immigrants. “It seems to me that the most radical and anti-immigrant candidates have been left behind and have been put in their place by their own electorate,” Calderon told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, the day after the Super Tuesday primaries. “My hope is that whoever the next president is, and whoever is in the new Congress, will have a broader and more...

MEXICO CITY - President Felipe Calderon launched a program Monday to create jobs for young Mexicans and curb the flow of millions of migrants to the United States. The program will give cash incentives to companies for hiring first-time job holders. Calderon, who took office in December, campaigned on promises to boost employment opportunities in Mexico, vowing to be the "Jobs President." A conservative who narrowly won the July election, Calderon is under pressure from a strong leftist opposition to alleviate poverty affecting half the country's citizens. While he has criticized U.S. immigration policies, such as a proposed border fence,...

MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Friday named a single commander for two federal police agencies and appointed a former peace negotiator with the Zapatista rebels as head of Indian affairs. Ardelio Vargas, previously chief of staff at the Federal Preventative Police, was named as commissioner of both that force and the Federal Investigative Agency.
