U.S. President Joe Biden started the diplomatic phase of summit diplomacy by making calls with the heads of Canada and Mexico facing the border. The new coronavirus infectious disease (Corona 19) quarantine policy, economic recovery, and cooperation measures for immigration issues have become a major topic.
President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked on the phone for about 30 minutes on the 22nd (local time), Canadian CBC reported that day. The two leaders shared a common position on issues between the two countries, including the response to Corona 19, economic recovery, climate change, cyber security and international cooperation, a senior government official said. The CBC added that President Biden’s first inter-government call was Prime Minister Trudeau.
President Biden then spoke with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. President Lopez Obrador announced that he was talking to President Biden on Twitter today, and said that he had briefly discussed the immigration issue, the infectious disease pandemic, and economic development with President Biden.
President Biden’s’telephone diplomacy’ is expected to continue for the time being. White House spokesman Jen Saki said at a briefing today that President Biden will speak with additional foreign leaders next week. However, face-to-face diplomacy seems to take time. The White House added, “President Biden’s first overseas trip will take some time. The Hill, an American political media outlet, said that President Biden’s overseas visits were delayed due to the corona 19 pandemic.
