    Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador waves to journalists as he departs the White House following a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden on July 12, 2022, in Washington, DC.

    Mexico's leader has some advice for the United States.

    Take better care of your kids. Try more hugs.

    Cut down on the drugs and guns.

    The bombast would seem fit for an enemy — not an ally that shares a 2,000-mile border and close economic, social and cultural ties.
