[dropcap size=big]U.[/dropcap]S. President Donald Trump on Monday called and spoke with the president-elect of Mexico after his historic landslide victory, an early sign of warmer relations between two countries that face critical dual challenges over immigration, free trade, and the drug war.
“I received a call from Donald Trump and we spoke for half an hour,” tweeted election-night winner Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. “I proposed we explore a comprehensive agreement; with development projects that generate employment in Mexico, and with it, reduce migration and increase security. The treatment was respectful and our representatives will continue the dialogue.”
Recibí llamada de Donald Trump y conversamos durante media hora. Le propuse explorar un acuerdo integral; de proyectos de desarrollo que generen empleos en México, y con ello, reducir la migración y mejorar la seguridad. Hubo trato respetuoso y dialogarán nuestros representantes.
