The President of Mexico urged Americans to buy cheaper gas south of the border during a Tuesday White House meeting with President Joe Biden.
Both leaders appeared to have read scripts during a public segment of the meeting.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador spoke for more than 25 minutes after Biden, suggesting a migrant worker visa program long sought by corporate interests that rely on cheap labor instead of American workers.
“And right now, a lot of drivers, a lot of Americans are going to Mexico — to the Mexican border — to get their gasoline,” López Obrador said.
“We are committed to guaranteeing twice as much supply,” he added.
“We have decided that it was necessary for us to allow Americans who live close to the border…to go and get their gasoline on the Mexican side at lower prices,” López Obrador continued.
“And right now a gallon of regular costs $4.78 average on the side of the border and on our territory, $3.12.”
