LIVE NOW—US-Mexico ties: A post-official working visit readout w/ @Martha_Barcena & @USAmbMex pscp.tv/w/cdYdAzFZTEVK…
Director of @ACLatAm @jmarczak opens today's discussion, introduces Mexico’s Ambassador to the US @Martha_Barcena and @USAmbMex Ambassador Christopher Landau, and offers congratulations on #USMCA and #AMLO's first international visit. #ACMexico
“First and foremost, the purpose of this visit was to underline and celebrate the entry into force of #USMCA, which starts a new age of the relationship of the North American region and the US-Mexico relationship,” said Mexico’s Ambassador to the US @Martha_Barcena. #ACMexico
"The combination of regionalization of global supply chains and the implementation of #USMCA is a critical opportunity for the US and Mexico and the region as a whole." -Mexico’s Ambassador to the US @Martha_Barcena #ACMexico
Mexico’s Ambassador to the US @Martha_Barcena highlighted the United States' support on procuring ventilators and PPP, as well as the challenge of keeping the US-Mexico border open to essential services while protecting the health of all. #ACMexico
“It was a fairly free-flowing discussion,” said @USAmbMex Ambassador Christopher Landau. "There was a lot of discussion of #COVID19 and the response to the virus... It's useful if you're going to have a relationship with someone to have met them in person." #ACMexico
"Protocol is about making sure everyone feels comfortable," noted @USAmbMex Ambassador Christopher Landau, recalling a conversation with @AmbassadorCPM about the nuances of facilitating an organic bond between the two presidents during this week's meetings. #ACMexico
“We worked closely with the House of Representatives and the Senate" as part of the #USMCA ratification process, noted Mexico’s Ambassador to the US @Martha_Barcena. "I don't have any doubt that these conversations and this dialogue will continue." #ACMexico
“We at the @EmbamexEUA work very closely with Congress and especially with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus,” said Mexico’s Ambassador to the US @Martha_Barcena "Both Republicans and Democrats understand the relevance of Mexico. #ACMexico
“It is imperative to recognize that the US and Mexico are economically interdependent,” said @USAmbMex Ambassador Christopher Landau, calling for the development of a body to respond to crises like the #COVID19 pandemic to coordinate cross-border supply chains. #ACMexico
“One of the most important outcomes of the meeting was that President Trump was clear in recognizing the value of the Mexican and hispanic community in the US,” said Amb. @Martha_Barcena. "This change of words is very important... Words build identity and respect." #ACMexico
"Diplomacy is there to build bridges, to avoid crises, to avoid confrontations. In this way, we worked very carefully this visit to continue to build these bridges between the two governments, the presidents, and the two countries," said Ambassador @Martha_Barcena. #ACMexico
“This is a golden opportunity for Mexico in particular and for the region in general to bring back supply chains to the region that have moved to Asia over the past twenty years,” said @USAmbMex Ambassador Christopher Landau. "I see #USMCA as a win-win situation." #ACMexico
“My priority from President @lopezobrador_ is to identify investments that we need to bring back to the North American region” with a strong focus on supply chains that support crisis response for essential sectors, said Mexico’s Ambassador to the US @Martha_Barcena. #ACMexico

LIVE NOW—Argentina’s debt negotiation: Is a deal within sight? pscp.tv/w/cdyYKTFZTEVK…

In negotiating the debt restructure before establishing a macroeconomic program, the Argentine government "put the cart before the horse," leading to a debt sustainability analysis that shifted due to #COVID19. -@martinredrado, former president of @BancoCentral_AR #ACArgentina
