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.
...”What do Mexico and Canada have to offer us that we would want to integrate with them?”...
I don’t know whether Canada would agree to that and I doubt that the majority of Americans would, either. The elites would because they are looking for anything to increase their power over people and this would concentrate power in the central government wherever that would be. Then, they could outlaw your teapot as the Brussels EU elites did to Great Britain. Just heard that today. The lust for power is a Satanic drive in the hearts of some human beings. It has been on the earth as long as mankind has existed and is a major cause of war. We may be going into a time of world revolution because populations have been backed into a corner by a handful of individuals in power who have never held real jobs, but who have garnered extreme wealth while common people struggle with simply the need to survive. I am very concerned about what kind of plan the US government has laid to keep power in the hands of the status quo. One question might be “Why have the bureaucracies been armed to a greater extent than the Marines?” Articles have appeared lately about this, but, of course, the main stream media will not investigate to confirm or deny. It is this kind of thing that makes people crazy. Is there a “secret army” in the government outside the military and, if so, why? Citizens need answers to such information.
Exactly! Mexico has poor people because they have a corrupt oligarchy that siphons all the wealth.
Mexico is superior to the USA in one thing;the leaders are expert at corruption and graft. The American left is working overtime to get America to Mexico’s level.
They could probably have that if they realized what’s going on and send all those Spanish/French descendants back from whence their forefathers came. They have all the wealth.
Even IF the Spanish elite there secured all the Union booty for them, hardly any of it would get to the peons.
I have often argued it would be a whole lot easier to guard the southern border if it was at the panama canal. Heck, nearly everyone in Mexico is here already!
hahaaaaaaaaaa I’ll bet he does.
They have nothing to offer. Alberta however has lots to offer.
Why? So Mexico can play Greece to Canada’s United Kingdom and the U.S.’s Germany?
Alberta should join Texas.
hey Enrique Pena Nieto.... right after you build and pay for the UUUUUUUGE WALL
exactly what does Pemex do with the oil money... who gets that Enrique??
and when are you going to fix up the cartel problem .... or is the cut too big to give up..??
Really, the only bad thing about Mexico is that it is full of Mexicans.
Another YUGE Trump endorsement!!
I agree. About all you can do is laugh at them though.
The ones here are so impressed with themselves.
Watching them deny what is happening is tragic, but laugh at them is about all you can do. I’m not going to pop a vein over it.
I literally laughed out loud at that one! What mental midget thinks we want in any way shape or form to be identified as being part of Mexico? If anything, we -or I and some others at least- want them to take their illegals BACK and solve their own problems instead of encouraging their people to break our laws and steal us blind!
Here's an idea: if Mexico is so keen on being part of another country let them join together with Nigeria and form a TransContinental Union together, much like the EU.
Yes, it is definitely a “kleptocracy” run by Creoles (defined as descendants of Spaniards)...
and based out of Mexico city too!
Actually Mexico has been growing at 3-6% annually for about 10 years. Much better than the USA.
They have shipped their economic and social deadbeats to the USA.
