On Friday, López Obrador announced that the summit will be held in January, instead of December as initially planned, and assured that it will be attended by Biden and Trudeau.

Although the White House has refused to give details, Lopez Obrador revealed on Friday some details of the visit, such as that Biden’s plane will land at the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA).

This airport has been built under the Government of López Obrador and has caused controversy due to its distance from the center of Mexico City, as well as the participation of the military in its construction.

On October 18, López Obrador announced that Mexico would host the summit and already assured then that Biden and Trudeau would attend.

However, the White House already then refused to officially confirm Biden’s attendance despite continuous questions from the press.
