Mexico’s president-elect Enrique Peña Nieto traveled to Washington on Tuesday for meetings with President Obama and other US officials. Peña Nieto says he wants to refocus the US-Mexico relationship on trade, rather than security. Shannon O’Neil is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and author of the forthcoming “Two Nations Indivisible: Mexico, the United States, and the Road Ahead.”
She said the newly elected president “wants to put economic issues front and center on the bilateral agenda.”
