(April 21, 2008)—President Bush meets with the leaders of Canada and Mexico in New Orleans. It's the fourth and final North American Leaders' Summit.
Bush will tend to the U.S. relationship one last time, pushing trade over what he calls the "scare tactics" of economic isolation.
Still, the two-day summit doesn't have a defining issue and isn't expected to yield any major announcements. The meeting is more of a progress report on how the three countries are working together.
During the summit, the leaders will push for all three countries to streamline rules on fuel efficiency standards, counterfeit and pirated goods, response to natural disasters and plans for repairing roads and bridges.
It's also a send-off of sorts for Bush. Since the first summit in 2005, he's seen leadership turn over in both Canada and in Mexico.
