Summary:
In meeting with President Nieto of Mexico, President Obama reiterates the enduring relationship between our two countries.
"From our shared security to climate change, Mexico is a critical partner and is critically important to our own well-being. We’re not just strategic and economic partners, we’re also neighbors, and we're friends, and we're family—including millions of Americans that are connected to Mexico by ties of culture and of language. And that’s why, as President, I’ve worked to deepen the partnership between our two nations."President Obama

You can get the complete rundown of what President Obama and President Nieto are working on together here -- including the benefits of the President's trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Both Canada and Mexico are parties to the TPP, which renegotiates past trade deals to put in place the highest labor and environmental standards of any trade agreement in history. In an increasingly interconnected world, these standards will make a big difference for American workers and small businesses.
