«People were betting against him, but we are doing a great job together (Trump on the relationship with AMLO)
AMLO:
«Having achieved this agreement represents a great achievement for the benefit of the 3 nations and our peoples»
«The treaty (T-MEC) is a great option to produce, create jobs and promote trade without having to go as far to our homes, states and nations»

«History teaches us that it is possible to understand each other without arrogance or extremism. Now that I decided to come, in my country a good debate broke out about this trip. I decided to come because the implementation of the treaty is very important, but I also wanted to be here To thank the people of the United States, your government and you Trump, for being more respectful towards our fellow citizens. To you, President, I thank you for your understanding and help, as well as your personal support for the acquisition of medical equipment for COVID- 19.
But what I appreciate the most is that you have never sought to impose on us anything that violates or violates our sovereignty. ”
