AMLO discussed with NASA a plan to have Internet throughout the country

Mexico City. An alternative to achieve internet communication throughout the national territory could be with satellites that could be put into orbit in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The topic was part of the conversation that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador had on April 23 with directors of that US organization.

It is part of the joint development strategy of North America, although “it takes time,” said the president. It would be having 60 thousand satellites to cover the entire national territory. “That matters a lot to us,” he said at the conference at the National Palace.

The issue gave rise to the president to insist that Mexico is interested in collaborating with the United States and Canada. Of the first, “we are already the main commercial partner.” The only thing is that respect for the sovereignties of the countries must be guaranteed because “economic integration is convenient for us.”

In fact, he said, the nearshoring It is a product of the political work that was done from Mexico. He immediately mentioned that during his campaign to become president of the United States, Donald Trump said that he did not want the North American trade agreement, he wanted to close the United States economy because companies and jobs were moving to Mexico and the deficit increased. .

Then, Trump changed his mind “because campaigns are one thing and the government is another.”

However, President López Obrador pointed out, there is a need to work for this economic integration and end economic and commercial dependence and that there are no predominant regions as was happening with respect to China.

He said that he has insisted with the governments of the United States and Canada to have planning for the future. China must be recognized for this, as it has a well-defined plan for the year 2035 and 2050.

However, in North America there is none. “Here the saying that the pumpkins settle along the path applies.”

Regarding the conversation with NASA managers, the president commented that this organization also has a project to identify, through satellites, the places where water is available. “They offered that job that they are going to give us and they already have a lot of progress.”

Managers Bill Nelson and Pamela Melroy also commented on their work to prevent fires, particularly to detect them early, they can even tell if it is an arson fire.
