In Mexico, the drug cartels are growing in power, and are spilling their operations into U.S soil. President Felipe Calderon, and President Barrack meet once again to address this issue. Obama agreed to aid Mexico in providing transportation to stop their operations from growing in power. However, there have been tensions between the presidents. Calderon would like for his trucks to be able to commerce within America. Obama, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says the trucks do not meet standard environmental requirements. Tariffs have been put on exported American goods because of this action. Calderon plans to take off these tariffs, when the first trucks cross the American borders.
