Obama Heads to Summit as North America Braces for Swine Flu http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601086&sid=a9F0s.P4 kWgw The two-day meeting in Guadalajara among Obama, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is to include talks on easing trade friction, dealing with the recession, battling drug crime and paving the way for climate talks later this year. A pressing topic is the return of the pandemic flu, which emerged in Mexico earlier this year. One trade irritant on the table will be access to U.S. highways for Mexican truckers. Congress in March ended a pilot program that allowed Mexican trucks to deliver to the U.S. everything from fresh fruit to auto parts. Lawmakers, with pressure from unions and American firms, cited complaints that Mexican trucks posed a safety hazard. Oy Oy |
