MEXICO CITY - The risks could be enormous, but they haven't swayed Mexico's president, Mr Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Still, Mr Lopez Obrador said he would move ahead with plans to fly to Washington and greet Mr Trump on Wednesday . The visit could also alienate the Democratic Party in the runup to the November elections. Mr Lopez Obrador does not plan to meet with Mr Joe Biden, the former vice president and the presumptive Democratic nominee. Canada's prime minister, Mr Justin Trudeau, declined the invitation to attend the summit, citing scheduling conflicts.
"Mexico needs to have a solid relationship with the United States, no matter who is the president," said Mr Erick Ordonez, 29, a supporter of Mr Lopez Obrador who grew up in Chiapas and now lives in Barcelona."We need to benefit the Mexican people, with plans for trade, for creating jobs, for US investment into Mexico," he said.
The timing of the trip has also been the subject scrutiny among many in Mexico. The US is only a few months away from a national election, coronavirus infections are surging on both sides of the border and officials close to both presidents have tested positive for the virus. But Ms Burgos, 27, acknowledged that there may never be an ideal moment for a Mexican president to meet with Mr Trump. During the US elections in 2016, there was a similar uproar over former Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto's decision to host Mr Trump at Los Pinos, the Mexican White House.
