On July 8, 2020, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador visited Donald Trump at the White House, for the start of the new North American trade agreement, the T-MEC. He thanked Trump: “hemos recibido de usted, comprensión y respeto” (we have received from you understanding and respect). He added: “Usted no ha pretendido tratarnos como colonia” (You have not tried to treat us as a colony). (Video in Spanish and English.)
He also said: “contra todos los pronósticos, no nos peleamos, somos amigos y vamos a seguir siendo amigos” (against all predictions, we did not fight, we are friends and we will go on being friends).
