The Three Amigos Summit

amigos

President Obama is in Mexico today attending what’s been called the “Three Amigos” Summit. The mainstream media is billing this summit as a chance for Obama to meet with his Mexican and Canadian counterparts to discuss trade, migration, swine flu, energy, the environment and joint efforts to counter rising drug violence. For a nice overview of this summit I recommend this Q&A from the Center for Strategic and International Studies. This is part of their Critical Questions series highlighting various international topics on the agenda. Other topics in the series examine energy and climate change at the summit and the economic issues faced by the three leaders.
