Mexico and President Barack Obama

President Barack Obama: Officials say Harper will not announce an end to Canada's contentious travel visa on Mexico an omission that will make the prime minister's trip "an unmitigated disaster," says one analyst who has been advising the Mexican government. , according to Hamilton Spectator. Caught in the middle will be President Enrique Pena Nieto, who is keen to showcase his country's growing prosperity while kick-starting an ambitious new phase of the moribund Three Amigos club to leverage the newfound energy wealth of all three countries. Prime Minister Stephen Harper won't be bringing the news his Mexican host wants to hear, nor hearing any himself from U.S. President Barack Obama, as North America's beleaguered Three Amigos converge on Mexico this week. Harper, meanwhile, can expect the cold shoulder from Obama on a major Canada-U.S. irritant: the long-stalled American decision on whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would pump Alberta oilsands bitumen to the southern Gulf Coast. Obama's unwavering message, according to White House officials? We'll let you know when we've made up our minds. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
