*Obama, Calderon meet at US-Canada-Mexico
summit*
President Barack Obama pressed for a new tone in the United States' relationship with Mexico but found no immediate progress Sunday on the divisions between him and Mexican President Felipe Calderon over the pace of U.S. drug-fighting aid and a ban on Mexican trucks north of the border.
Obama kicked off his second trip to Mexico as president with a friendly 45-minute meeting with Calderon that touched on the vast trade relationship between their two countries, their cooperation on swine flu and the violent Mexican gangs dominating the drug trade on both sides of the border. Their talks came before the start of a lightning-quick three-way summit between the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Often called the "Three Amigos" summit, the meeting of Obama, Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper began over dinner at a cultural institution in this town near the mountains. The summit's formal talks, the fifth for the three countries, were taking place Monday, followed by a joint appearance before reporters at midday.
During the separate sit-down between Obama and Calderon, the Mexican leader raised his concerns about the speed of implementation of the United States' three-year, $1.4 billion drug-fighting package known as the Merida Initiative. One $100 million installment is being delayed over rising concerns among some in Congress about the Mexican army's abuses.
The U.S. law requires Congress to withhold some funding unless the State Department reports Mexico is not violating human rights during its anti-cartel crackdown, which started in 2006.
Obama told Calderon that human rights is a major priority for him, but also assured him that the State Department is working to prepare a report that recognizes all Mexico's efforts to prevent abuses, said a senior administration official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity in order to more freely describe private meetings.
Drug violence has killed more than 11,000 people since Mexico launched its crackdown. Mexican cities are essentially under siege, and the killings are spilling over the border into the United States and as far as Canada.
Calderon also quizzed Obama on his earlier promise to restore a canceled program that had allowed Mexican truckers to travel into the United States, the official said.

****لقاء اوباما وكالديرون في قمة الولايات المتحدة-كندا-المكسيك****
ألتمس الرئيس باراك أوباما أسلومباً جديداً في علاقة الولايات المتحدة مع المكسيك لكنه لم يحرز أي تقدماًَ عاجل يوم الأحد بشأن التقسيمات بينه وبين الرئيس المكسيكي فيليب كالديرون المتعلقة بمساعدات الولايات المتحدة لمكافحة المخدرات وفرض حظر على الشاحنات المكسيكية شمالي الحدود.
أوباما بدأ رحلته الثانية رئيساً في أجتماع ودي أستغرق 45 دقيقة مع كالديرون اللذي تطرق فيه إلى العلاقات التجارية الشاسعة بين البلدين, والتعاون بينهما على انفلونزا الخنازير وعنف العصابات المكسيكية اللتي تسيطر على تجارة المخدرات على كلا الجانبين من الحدود. وقد جاءت المحادثات قبل بداية سريعة خاطفة لقمة ثلاثية بين الولايات المتحدة, والمكسيك وكندا.
القمة اللتي غالباً ماتسمى "قمة الأصدقاء الثلاثة", لقاء اوباما, كالديرون ورئيس الوزراء الكندي ستيفن هاربر بدأت على عشاء في أحد المؤسسات الثقافيه في هذه المدينه القريبة من الجبال. محادثات القمة الرسيمة, وهي الخامسة للدول الثلاث تجري يوم الأثنين, يليها ظهور مشترك أمام الصحفيين في منتصف النهار.
وأثناء الجلوس المنفصل بين اوباما وكالديرون, أثار الزعيم المكسيكي مخاوفه بشأن سرعة تنفيذ الولايات المتحدة لمدة ثلاث سنوات, بقيمة 1.4 مليار دولار لمجموعة مكافة المخدرات المعروفة باسم مبادرة (ميريدا) فقد تم تأخير قسط بقيمة 100 مليون دولار إلى جانب تزايد المخاوف لدى البعض في الكونغرس بشأن تجاوزات الجيش المكسيكي.
ويقتضي القانون الأمريكي أن يحجب الكونغرس حجب بعض التمويل مالم تقرر وزارة الخارجيه بأن المكسيك لاتنتهك حقوق الانسان خلال حملة مكافحة حملة الاتحاد الاحتكاري للمنتجين (Anti-cartel), واللتي بدأت عام 2006.
وقال اوبامام محدثاً كالديرون بأن حقوق الانسان هي من الأولويات الرئيسة بالنسبة له, بل أكد له أن وزارة الخارجيه تعمل على إعداد تقرير يعترف بكل الجهود اللتي تبذلها المكسيك لمنع التجاوزات, وقال مسئول كبير في الادارة اللذي قدم إفادة للصحفيين شريطة عدم الأفصاح عن هويته ليقوم بوصف الاجتماعات السرية بحرية أكير.
أدى عنف المخدرات إلى قتل أكثر من 11.000 شخصاً منذ أن بدأت المكسيك حملتها. المدن المكسيكية أساساً تحت الحصر, والقتل يمتد عبر الحدود مع الولايات المتحده وكندا كذلك.
كما طلب كالديرون اوباما في وعد سابق له لاستعادة برنامجاً قد تم الغاءه كان يسمح لسائقي الشاحنات المكسيكيين بالسفر إلى الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية, حسبما ذكر المسؤول.
