0:44Now PlayingMexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will ask U.S. counterpart Joe Biden for help getting vaccines against Covid-19, as one of the nations hardest hit by the pandemic struggles to inoculate its population.
“We want a response to a petition we have already made, and if President Biden considers it he can give us a response on vaccines during the conversation,” Lopez Obrador said at his daily press conference, ahead of a call between the two leaders set for Monday afternoon.
Lopez Obrador said he broached the topic the last time they spoke, but didn’t elaborate on exactly what they discussed.
Mexico has suffered the third-most coronavirus deaths of any country in the world and it has vaccinated so far less than 2% of its population, according to Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker. The country was hit by supply shortages from producer Pfizer Inc. earlier this year, which delayed Mexico’s inoculation program after it became the first Latin American nation to administer a Covid-19 vaccine in December.
