By Caroline Vakil - 08/08/21 05:45 PM EDT
The president of Mexico says he will speak with Vice President Kamala Harris over the phone on Monday to discuss COVID-19 vaccines, Reuters reported.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador appeared to suggest in his comments that Mexico might receive more vaccines from the U.S.
"There are commitments for us to have more vaccines, provided by the United States government," Lopez Obrador said in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, according to Reuters.
In March, President Biden tapped Harris to lead diplomatic efforts in Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries that would address migration along the southern border and long-term partnership with the countries.
