Abstract
The article considers the development of Mexican-American relations in the beginning of XXI century. First of all, attention was paid to three main problems of bilateral relations – NAFTA, illegal migration and illegal drug trafficking. Basing on the analysis of Spanish-language sources, the author shows the change in the positions of Mexican presidents on these issues, depending on the emphasis placed either on security or on economic issues. One of the factors that had a destructive impact on this process was the policy of US President D.Trump. It is concluded that despite the asymmetry of bilateral relations, with the coming to power in Mexico of President L.Obrador and in the United States of President J.Biden has positive prospects for resolving differences.
