    • Abstract:
      President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of Mexico is in talks to expand a plan that provides Venezuelans who agree to return to their home countries with jobs and a $660 stipend to include Colombia and Ecuador. The details of the project, such as the amount and timeline, have not yet been determined, but discussions are ongoing with the two Latin American countries. The plan also involves companies like Fomento Economico Mexicano SAB and Grupo Bimbo SAB to provide migrants with jobs. President Lopez Obrador also criticized the US for not investing enough in Latin America to address the root causes of migration. Mexico is facing pressure from US officials to reduce the number of migrants at the shared border ahead of elections this year. [Extracted from the article]
