U.S. President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have pledged their resolve to promote prosperity for people through the hemisphere as they opened wide-ranging talks in Mexico City. They were discussing the fragile security situation in Haiti, North American trade, political unrest in Brazil and more on the sidelines of the North American Leaders Summit. Biden and Trudeau met one-on-one before a three-way meeting later Tuesday with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The U.S. and Canadian leaders had a warm exchange during a brief appearance before reporters, which stood in stark contrast to a more brusque exchange between Biden and López Obrador on Monday.

Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador says he would consider accepting more migrants than previously announced under President Joe Biden's plan to turn away people who cross illegally into the United States. The comments came Monday as López Obrador, Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gather in Mexico City for a North American summit. They'll be discussing migration, trade and climate change. On Tuesday, the three leaders have their main summit meeting. Biden says the gathering will advance "shared priorities for North America." The leaders will discuss migration, climate change, the economy and other issues.
