Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador thanked President Joe Biden for not building a wall along the border as he was hosting the 10th North American Leaders’ Summit.
“You are the first president of the United States in a very long time that has not built even one meter of wall,” Obrador said Tuesday. “And we thank you for that, sir.”
