WASHINGTON (AP) – President Joe Biden is set to meet with Mexican counterpart Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The White House says their discussions Tuesday will showcase the underlying strength of their nations’ relationship. But there have been recent disagreements on issues including energy and Ukraine policy. It’ll be the second in-person White House meeting between Biden and López Obrador, who spoke virtually amid the coronavirus pandemic last year and have held several calls. Vice President Kamala Harris will host López Obrador in a breakfast and take Mexican first lady Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller on a tour of the Library of Congress. First lady Jill Biden hosted Gutiérrez Müller during this spring’s White House celebration of Cinco de Mayo.
