Mexico's López Obrador says he called Harris 'president' after meetings on migration

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said this week that in-person meetings on the migration crisis with Vice President Kamala Harris went so well that he called her “president.”

Harris was in Mexico earlier this week as part of a two-day trip to the region to solve what the White House has described as the "root causes" behind the crisis at the southern border -- including poverty, violence and climate change in Central America. Harris has come under fire for failing to visit the border, instead holding virtual meetings with officials and business leaders -- before jetting off on the two-day visit this week.
