President Donald Trump congratulated Andrés Manuel López Obrador for winning the election to become president of Mexico on July 1. Trump shared a 30-minute phone call with Obrador, during which the two discussed trade, border security, and the possibility of a bilateral Mexico–U.S. trade deal.
“We had a lot of good conversation, I think the relationship will be a very good one. We’ll see what happens,” Trump said. “I think he’s going to try to help us with the border.”
