Trudeau, Pena Nieto, Obama to take part in North American Leaders’ Summit

OTTAWA – The love-in between Canada and Mexico will expand into a continental threesome today as U.S. President Barack Obama joins Justin Trudeau and Enrique Pena Nieto for the North American Leaders’ Summit.
The huddle, colloquially known as the Three Amigos summit, is expected to focus on clean energy and climate change.
The Mexican president, who has been on a state visit to Canada since Monday, is to sign on to the Canada-U.S. methane reduction deal announced when Trudeau visited Washington last March.
That accord pledges to cut methane emissions 40 to 45 per cent below 2012 levels by 2025.
The three leaders are also expected to announce a goal to achieve 50 per cent clean power generation across North America by 2025, including renewable energy, nuclear power, carbon capture and storage and increased energy efficiency.
Ahead of today’s summit, Trudeau and Pena Nieto cleared away Tuesday long-standing trade and travel irritants: Canada will lift its controversial visa requirement for Mexican visitors before the end of the year while Mexico will end restrictions on Canadian beef imports.
