美国、墨西哥、加拿大三国首脑会议进入第二天,会议的主要议题是猪流感、贸易和墨西哥的反毒品战争。

在瓜达拉哈拉市举行会议的领导人预计将提出一份抗击H1N1猪流感的联合方案,但是在其他问题上并未达成多少共识。

星期天晚间,墨西哥总统卡尔德龙告诉奥巴马总统说,美国应该加快向墨西哥提供美国承诺的14亿美元。美国向墨西哥提供这笔钱,打击有组织犯罪,因为一些美国议员担心墨西哥军队中存在侵害人权问题,有1亿美元被推迟。

星期天,在和卡尔德龙举行的45分钟会谈中,奥巴马对墨西哥打击贩毒团伙表达了强烈支持,并同时强调了人权的重要性。

两位总统和加拿大总理哈珀共进工作晚餐。三位领导人将在奥巴马星期一返回华盛顿前会面。

US-Canada-Mexico Summit Tackles Drug War, Trade

The leaders of the United States, Mexico and Canada are meeting for a second day to discuss swine flu, trade and the Mexican drug war.

The leaders, meeting in Guadalajara, Mexico, are expected to present a united plan of attack against H1N1 swine flu, though there is less agreement on other issues.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon told U.S. President Barack Obama late Sunday that the U.S. should move faster to send Mexico the $1.4 billion it has promised to fight organized crime. One hundred million dollars has been delayed because some U.S. lawmakers are concerned about alleged human rights abuses by the Mexican army.

During Sunday’s 45-minute meeting with President Calderon, Mr. Obama expressed strong support for Mexico’s fight against drug cartels, while also stressing the importance of human rights.

The two presidents then had a working dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The three leaders are meeting Monday before Mr. Obama returns to Washington.

Featured prominently on their agenda are efforts to revive the three countries’ economies.
