A clip from 60 Minutes posted on X summarized President López Obrador’s demands to work with the United States include the U.S. giving $20 billion a year to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, lifting sanctions on Venezuela, ending the Cuban embargo, and legalizing all “law-abiding Mexicans living in the U.S.”

When asked what would happen if the U.S. does not comply with these requirements, Lopez Obrador said “the flow of migrants will continue.”
