President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador held a private meeting in Washington on Wednesday with businessman Mexico and the United States, where they talked about economic cooperation, investment, sovereignty, and progress with justice.

The meeting was attended by Carlos Slim Hel and Carlos Slim Domit, from Grupo Carso; Francisco Cervantes, president of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE); and Antonio Del Valle, president of the Mexican Business Council.

Representatives from the United States included Suzanne Clark, president of the US Chamber of Commerce, Myron Brilliant and Patrick Ottensmeyer, president of Kansas City Southern.

So far neither the government nor businessmen have provided details of the meeting.

Leaving the meeting, Pemex’s director, Octavio Romero Oropeza, told the press that US businessmen expressed “doubt” to López Obrador regarding his energy policy.

“There were doubts, and requests, he offered to sort them out and take care of them,” he said.

He said millionaire investments were discussed at the meeting, particularly in the energy sector, but he gave no further details.
