WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has kicked off the North American Leaders Summit with upbeat one-on-one meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Biden called the U.S. relationship with Canada one of the easiest in the early going of his presidency.
