Mex­i­can Pres­i­dent Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is expect­ed to ask Pres­i­dent Joe Biden to con­sid­er shar­ing part of the U. S. coro­n­avirus vac­cine sup­ply with its poor­er south­ern neigh­bor when the two lead­ers hold a vir­tu­al sum­mit on Mon­day, U.S. and Mex­i­can offi­cials said.

Biden is open to dis­cussing the mat­ter as part of a broad­er region­al effort to coop­er­ate in the fight against the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic but will main­tain as his “num­ber one pri­or­i­ty” the need to first vac­ci­nate as many Amer­i­cans as pos­si­ble, a White House offi­cial told Reuters on con­di­tion of anonymity.
